Does UVA look at 1st semester senior year grades at all for EA?

I got my application decision and to say the least I did not get accepted. Decisions were posted on January 21st and my semester ended mid-December. Grades were not finalized until maybe the start of January. I suppose three weeks between the time my grades were sent and the time decisions were posted is fairly short so I wouldn’t be surprised if they the adcom didn’t take my senior year grades into consideration.

Did UVA look at my senior year grades?

No they didn’t. They only see senior year grades for RD applicants.

This is the difference between EA and RD.
