<p>How are you guys doing in all your classes this year? My average has dropped this quarter and last quarter and I am real worried. Do senior year grades count for alot??</p>
<p>I think for RD, first semester senior grades count just as much as sophomore and junior year.</p>
<p>I took precalculus over the summer at Harvard Summer school and got an A- but when i took calculus this year everything was new to me and all the kids in my class who took pre calculus last year find it much easier since they learned the stuff. I got a 86 this quarter and im still playing catch up to the rest of the class. Will this grade kill me or will they understand my situation if my counselor explains it?</p>
<p>uh how will your counselor explain it lol</p>
<p>We have semester finals at the end of the month, and I'm a little nervous. I'm borderline 89 in some of my classes, and I'm trying to pull off straight-A's (or at the most one B) to keep up my slight upward trend and give my GPA one last boost. This semester is crucial for me for not only Stanford admissions, but others as well. I agree with turtle--first semester senior grades are just are just as important.</p>
