<p>Very curious about this. I calculated my GPA w/o my freshman year and found that it would be three points higher (e.g. 1.7 instead of 1.4) 1.7 is not my ACTUAL GPA lol just an example given. But that could be a huge boost for people with upward trends - in a 3.6 instead of 3.3 kinda way. Anything below 2.5 is pretty much community college.</p>
<p>Princeton and Stanford don’t IIRC. I can’t really think of any other “top” schools.</p>
<p>UC’s don’t look at freshman grades</p>
<p>Keep in mind that your rank will still be affected by freshman grades, though.</p>
