<p>freshman year still counts even though u transferred!</p>

<p>....i think overall you've got a lot to work with and talk about and your numbers are fine it'll all come down to how well u represent yourself in your essays and luck.</p>

<p>I don't think the Columbia board likes to throw out chances as carelessly as other boards do :)</p>

7

<p>i second the representing self in essays and luck.</p>

<p>I don't know about freshman year counting tho, it totally depends on your school and how they handled your transfer. If they just gave you credit without counting the grades, then it doesnt matter I wouldnt think....you'll have to talk to a guidance counselor to see what they did with those grades.</p>
