Do you think colleges look at each and every grade?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>As in, for example, quarter grades in freshman year. You know how they combine with your final exam or midterm for the ending grade that goes into your GPA and everything... because I got either a D or F in English this last quarter. Beyond horrible, I know. I'm hoping I can salvage my chances some how. I'm realistic about which colleges I can get into... so if I have an upward trend of my grades for the rest of high school do you think they'll let it slide a little? Thanks.</p>

<p>Usually a school will send semester grades, not quarter grades.</p>

<p>Unless your school does it differently, you should be able to salvage it if you did well on other parts of your semester grade.</p>

<p>Probably not quarter grades.</p>

<p>Yeah, my school doesn't even send semester grades to colleges...only the final grades. Some schools don't even look at freshman grades: check those out. You'll be alright.</p>

<p>I know most colleges only compute your GPA for core academic courses and AP courses.</p>

Same. I feel kinda guilty having a 4.0 with a few B's on my transcript. :/</p>
