<p>No, a friend of mine, a Princeton sophomore says that they do not consider your freshman GPA.</p>
<p>Oh yeah and Princeton doesn’t count it either. But as fas as I know, Columbia, Harvard, and UPenn do. Not sure about the others.</p>
<p>They count your sophomore year, junior year, and first semester senior year, and possibly your second semester senior to make sure you didn’t slack. = 5 semesters not counting your second semester</p>
