Jesus. You’re missing the point. I’m very happy for you that you’re not pursuing ulterior motives here, but that’s not the main issue here.

Colleges have orientation, counseling for freshman, etc etc exactly because people have difficulty with transitions. They try very hard to make it smooth. The difference is that the freshmen in high school are early teenagers, while freshmen in college are adults. They expect a little more out of the adults. I know that I can deal with issues better now than I could four years ago.

I still don’t understand how you could possibly think that adcoms consider freshman year grades to be as important as the other years’. Do you really believe this? If not, then stop arguing, because we’re mostly in agreement, and I don’t want to derail this thread further.
