UC's don't take into consideration hs freshman year GPA for the purposes of admissions. (They do look at the course load/quality of course load, but ignore the GPA in the mechanical formula of calculating total points assigned to a candidate). It is just Sophomore and Junior year GPA that matters there.

Question: Is it true of all colleges ?

Context: my d had a hiccup in the first semester of her junior year. I am wondering if her overall GPA (since Freshman) year will help dilute that. (UC answer is no).
