<p>a lot of people are telling me that Freshman year grades don’t count in a lot of college admissions… is that true? because I screwed up really badly in my freshman year… also if it is, what schools don’t count freshman year grades?</p>
<p>i know the uc’s and umich dont…cant speak for any other colleges though…</p>
<p>i don’t necessarily think colleges look at it. of course they primarily look at your junior grades, but i don’t think they’ll go in depth with your freshman grades. though, it’s still encouraged to try hard and do your best.</p>
<p>well, they are right in a way. the fact is 99% the freshman grades set the pace and tone of the years to come, so slack off starting Freshman, ur could be in a pile of deep … manure :D</p>
<p>Freshman grades are basically ways for the colleges to see your progress.</p>
<p>If you get a 1.5/2.0 freshman year and are able to pull it up to a 3.5, colleges will be impressesd, and that will help</p>
<p>If you get a 4.0 freshman year and it drops to a 3.0, colleges will see you are slacking off and penalize you.</p>
<p>well a 1.5 will make them think twice… they dont want unpredictability u know…</p>
