Emory is the only full-need-met school I can think of that recalculates GPA without freshman grades. The others would not be affordable: The U of California system, and the Canadian universities. There may be others that I don’t know about, though.
I don’t think it will make a huge difference for you - even the majority of schools that consider freshman grades are also looking at improving trends and the consistency you’ve shown since that time. I don’t think there will be many colleges that would otherwise have admitted you, that will be like, nope, we loved her but those B’s when she was 14 ruined it! But it’s still a point in Emory’s favor that they don’t consider those grades at all.
Asian or Eurasian isn’t a hook at most schools, unfortunately. I believe it still is at Lehigh. Lehigh has improved their no-loan aid for low-income students, and they have some interesting interdisciplinary options Interdisciplinary Studies | Lehigh University - might be worth considering as a less-reachy school that’s still generous with need-based aid.
