I am a senior in high school and currently am stressing out about my second mid trimester grades. I worked really hard my first trimester (received a 4.12 GPA) yet now that I am super busy applying to college my second trimester grades are not as great (probably mostly B/B+'s). I was told that first trimester grades are the most important. Am I wrong? Do they place a lot of emphasis into the second trimester grades as well??
There are lots of posts on this topic these days. To quote others on CC: “No D’s, no F’s, no felonies”. To that I would add "not too many C’s. Second semester senior year grades do go to colleges. B’s will not hurt you. Extremely low grades or getting into trouble could get your acceptance rescinded.
