<p>I had a terrible freshman year and I don't want that messing up my chances at a great school.</p>
<p>What colleges do not consider freshman year or even look at it when calculating GPA?</p>
<p>I heard the Univ. of Michigan doesn't and some people have said University of California campuses don't either.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for any help.</p>
<p>The search button <3 you :D
Nothing Personal :p
Stanford, Princeton, Search Button...</p>
<p>I've heard that sometimes a low freshman GPA can actully work out better than a high freshman GPA if your grades skyrocket sophmore/junior/senior years. Going from a 3.9, 3.7, 3.5, 3.4 might actully come off worse than a
3.0, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7 because the upward trend says a lot.</p>
<p>Well I had a 2.7/2.4 freshman year and then a 3.6/4.0 Sophomore year.</p>
<p>GPA is out of 4.0.</p>
<p>Bump please..</p>
<p>Bump please..</p>
<p>Michigan recaculates your GPA with only soph and junior year grades from academic classes.</p>
<p>Stanford also does not care about freshman grades.</p>
<p>Other schools will note them, but if you have an upward trend (as I do), you're in much better shape than those kids who start out as #1 and end up with 3.0's their junior year because they can't handle it.</p>
<p>Universities of California do not.</p>
<p>Oh ok..Thanks a lot..What would be some good matches/reaches for me?</p>
<p>I had a 2.7/2.4 freshman year and then a 3.6/4.0 Sophomore year.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
<p>Strykur,
Are you sure about uc's?</p>
<p>UCs do not look at GPA from Freshman year. I'd post the link, but I'm too lazy to find it.</p>
<p>Do the UC's even care about freshman year?</p>
<p>The UCs might care about whether you pass your freshman year classes. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Well I passed them, just not with stellar grades.</p>
<p>Also...Bump please..</p>
