<p>Anyone know?</p>

<p>I know that the UC schools don't, but I have no idea what other schools don't.</p>

2

<p>Stanford doesn't. Also, most schools give freshman year the least weight, if the other years are good. Lots of kids take a year to adjust to high school.</p>

3

<p>hmm </p>

<p>seems like it's only schools in Cal that don't!</p>

4

<p>UChicago, Carnegie Mellon, UC's, Umich, etc.</p>

5

<p>oh man that's a good list!</p>

<p>its very exciting learning about this!</p>

6

<p>bump!!!! </p>

<p>hahah sorry</p>

7

<p>Princeton doesn't look at freshman grades, either.</p>

8

<p>Hopkins doesn't, or at least they didn't a few years ago. They 'look' at 9th grade scores, but they don't include them in their overall 'score' of the applicant.</p>

<p>dang, freshman year was one of my best.... the APs have been steadily clobbering my GPA. I need to apply to a college that considers it...</p>

<p>Well to be honest, a downward trend in a GPA never looks good.</p>
