Does stanford check freshman grades?

<p>I’m sure they look at them, and I’m sure if you get more than a few B’s or A-'s your chances are going to be hurt. You’re going up against the top 0.2% or so of college applicants across the country, so everything matters to some degree. This being said, my SAT scores weren’t that good, so I think everything depends on how well you market yourself. Work hard and don’t slip up again.</p>
