1st Semester Senior Year Grades

Applying to College
1

<p>So I've heard a lot about not slacking off the second semester of your senior year. But our 1st semester just finished, and I have absolutely no clue how my grades are going to turn out. They're really borderline right now, my GPA for the semester could be anywhere between 2.6 and 3.1 and I wouldn't be surprised. My best case scenario is 3 A's, 2 B's, and 2 C's, worst case would be 4 B's and 3 C's.</p>

<p>My worry is that I applied to the University of Washington on December 1, and I haven't gotten a reply back yet. I'm afraid that they will end up seeing these grades before they make a decision, and not accept me. My current GPA is 3.6, and I've never gotten a C before, but with 6 IB classes this semester (basicallly 7 with TOK), it was pretty hard. How bad off am I?</p>

<p>don't worry about it. Colleges know that it may be hard to maintain grades in senior year due to increased activities, college applications, harder classes, and *****y teachers. Plus, it's only one semester's work, not the full year...</p>

<p>Don't worry. I know a lot of people who still haven't gotten into UW and have submitted applications on Dec. 1 (I go to a school in Seattle, so tons of people apply). You'll hear from them soon. If you don't hear from them within a week, though, I would probably call the school.</p>

<p>Actually, I heard that the UW doesn't even need to see your mid-year grades. But they do look at your transcript if you decide to go.</p>
