<p>If freshman grades are not calculated in the overall UC recalculated GPA, that action in itself says they are not important. If they were, they’d be part of the recalculated GPA.</p>
<p>Obviously they will see your freshman year courses and grades, no one’s arguing the contrary. </p>
<p>Every single college will weigh junior year and sophomore year grades MUCH MORE than freshman year courses and grades, trust me. It’s not just UC’s that do not take freshman grades into consideration–Princeton doesn’t, either. The freshman year grades and courses are just “there,” but very insignificant when compared to junior year and sophomore year.</p>
<p>Stop with this nonsense about freshman year grades being more important than they really are in the UC’s eyes.</p>
