[quote=Anonymous]They matter inasmuch as your cumulative GPA and record matters. But a few bad grades freshman year does not preclude acceptance to selective universities given the grades improve. If you are applying to places that have under a 10% acceptance rate, there are more than enough applicants with stellar records--of course, as was mentioned below, sometimes if there is an exceptional talent there are always going to be exceptions. Smaller schools like SLACs tend to have a more holistic approach to applications and look for the right "fit," so if you have a kid who is smart but doesn't quite fit the mold there will certainly be options. You can certainly graduate with a 3.5+ if it's just one C.[/quote]
