I’m wondering if strong grades in the 1st semester of 12th grade will give you a better chance of getting into UC’s such as UC Davis, UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara. I’m aware that the UC GPA only calculates 10 and 11th grade.
Unless the UC’s ask you to submit your 1st Semester Senior grades through a supplemental review, they will not be considered in their admissions decisions.
Doing well Senior year will however maintain your provisional admission if accepted into any of the UC’s.
