<p>Ok, so I am a junior applying to UC Berkeley, MIT, Columbia, CalTech, UChicago, and possibly Stanford. I'm wondering which schools in this list, and highly ranked like these don't take freshman year grades into consideration. I heard that UCs don't care about freshman year grades, but are there others? I didn't do amazingly freshman year, so that would be a great help. If you want to see my stats they are on a previous post of mine.</p>
<p>Stanford, Carnegie Mellon and California state schools. They still see the grades and your class rank so they still can effect your admission, just not as much.</p>
<p>That’s great. My grades after freshman year have been 95+ in everything so hopefully I’m good.</p>
