1st Semester Senior Grades

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys, so since 1st semester is coming to a close, I was wondering about the grades. I have been told that the 1st semester grades are not counted into the overall GPA, but only the rank? (Can someone confirm if this is correct?)</p>

<p>Also, will colleges look at the grades as one of the most important factors? In other words, will they determine your admission based heavily on the grades? I've been doing well for the first 3 years of high school, but I slacked off a little during the 1st semester (Nothing terrible, just 3 B's and 3 A's). </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Most, if not all colleges count grades through graduation.
Different colleges look at different factors in deciding on admission.</p>
