Schools That Don't Count Freshman Year

College Search & Lists

<p>I have seen this issue mentioned, but was wonderring if a list exists. Just got son’s sophmore grades and with a harder schedule his 3.3 UW freshman year became a 4.0 UW this year. We also got his Math II SAT scores and he got an 800. So if this trend continues … Anyway he is a STEM kid, but I am sure other people would be interested in a list of schools that don’t look at freshman year of HS.</p>

<p>University of California and California State University schools (which includes the California Polytechnics) count only 10th and 11th grade course grades in the a-g subject areas, with +1 for up to 8 semesters of honors/AP courses with C or higher grades. (The 9th grade course grades in the a-g subject areas still need to be C or higher for the courses to count toward fulfilling the a-g subject areas.)</p>

<p>[University</a> of California](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu%5DUniversity”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu)

<p>However, if you are not a California resident, do not expect much financial aid. CSUs’ “list price” is lower than that of many other out of state publics, including UC.</p>
