Yeah I know that Stanford does the same, but sadly even without freshman year, my GPA would only raise to a 3.7 which isn’t bad in any way, but then again I’m going against 4.0s. I don’t want to be told that I can’t go to this school because of my lack of good grades so I’m just going to have to put more work in other aspects of the application. I’ve even heard of plenty of kids who get in with no “top” GPA so I think it’s clear to me that these schools will look for more than GPA and test scores. < That’s just the conclusion that I’ve drawn up. Any thoughts?
