“Stanford does not include Freshman grades in their GPA calculation.”

OP, this “cart before the horse” that many 9th and 10th graders do drives me nuts. Kids who want Stanford, Wharton, MIT and other tops, are already fretting…

…but haven’t even begun to explore what the colleges say. Tippy tops like kids who have their own “get up and go.”

Whether you can get solid A grades from now on, we can’t predict. How a series of grades over 3 or 4 years calculates to a uw GPA is simple math.

And how your high school reports any classes before 9th is a question for your GC. But you should know, middle school is not an adcom concern.
