<p>Do colleges even look at your 1st semester senior grades when they evaluate your application? I'm not sure if I should take AP English and get a C or Regular English and get an A. Does it matter which English class you take if your SAT Verbal and Writing skills are around the 600 range? </p>
<p>I'm already taking 3 other APs including AP Chem, AP Statistics, and AP Government.</p>
<p>Yes they do and often check again in the second semester even after sending an acceptance offer. I have heard of an offer being recinded when a student had a case of "senioritis" and sort of "blew off" the spring semester of sr. year. The college did not like that at all and took back the acceptance.</p>
<p>Well, what I really mean is if colleges consider senior 1st sem grades during your application evaluation. I know that you can have your admission revoked due to poor grades.</p>
<p>they do not. however, correct me if i'm wrong, if you are wait listed or flat out rejected and you send them an appeal with a higher gpa than your previous years they should reconsider</p>
<p>Honestly, the answer an adcom would give:
Take AP English and get an A.

Best of luck.</p>
