What Colleges DON'T look much at freshmen year grades?

Applying to College

<p>In my freshman year, I was in a n accident that caused me to miss 4-5 months of school so my gpa was 3.5 &3.0. I know it was a special circumstance, but I don't think it justifies it completely. </p>

<p>I was wondering what schools dont really look much at freshmen year grades. I know the UC's dont, but what other good schools dont?</p>

<p>You can have a rough freshmen, and even sophmore year, and still get into great colleges.</p>

<p>question - so these / some colleges actually re-calculate your GPA solely based on 10th and 11th grade courses sometimes?</p>

<p>i have several classes from 7th and 8th in addition to 9th grade classes that count towards my high school gpa - should i take a look at what my GPA would be just based on high school and just based on 10th/11th grade, meaning, are those numbers significant?</p>

<p>Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Princeton, UC’s, USC are what I’ve heard.</p>

<p>If you are applying to any of these schools, recalculate your gpa, but I guess they still see your grades on your transcript, so at least try not to have a downward trend.</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins.</p>

<p>I know that the UC’s calculate your gpa based only on 10th and 11th grade so you should be good for those</p>
