Um, stanford does not look at freshmen gpa, … @“aunt bea”
However, I am worried about how the OP’s school rank students and calculate GPA. If the op school does include freshmen year, the OP’s rank will be messed up and the counselor recommendation will probably be subpar as well. While Stanford doesn’t look at freshmen gpa, his extremely low freshmen gpa on his transcript might raise a brow or two when the officers scan over his entire transcript. Had his freshmen gpa be a mix of As and Bs , that would have probably not been a very big problem.
