UCLA, Berkeley *DO* consider freshman year grades in admissions

[hotasice]

<p>

Academic grade point average (GPA), calculated using 10th and 11th grade UC–approved courses only

</p>

<p>The UC’s recalculate your GPA and DO NOT take freshman grades into consideration. Duh.</p>

<p>This is straight from your straight-from-UCLA’s-website quote ;)</p>

<p>

Quality, quantity, and level of course work TAKEN THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM, especially course work completed beyond the minimum a–g courses required for eligibility to the University of California

</p>

<p>That being said, the UC’s obviously will see what you took freshman year, but will clearly not give it as much weight as 10th and 11th grade.</p>
