Does USC consider Freshman year grades? Please this has been eating away my brain

<p>USC considers your entire record and has no complicated GPA calculation in the way the UCs do. The published GPA figures are simply the unweighted 9th - 11th grade GPA. Most universities, USC included, do not put much as much weight on freshman year as on the VERY important Junior year (which looks GREAT for you). Your upward trend is impressive and will be a favorable point in your application. USC asks many students for a mid-year grade report, so be sure your first semester of senior year looks like your great junior year. Good luck!</p>
