<p>If you apply to Columbia ED, do they see your senior grades from first quarter, first semester, or none? And how much of a role do these grades play?</p>
<p>For ED evaluation, they look at your first 3 years and decide. No grades are examined. They will look at your Sr year schedule to see you’re still taking a rigorous courseload.</p>
<p>If accepted, then your senior year grades just don’t have to fall off cliff.</p>
<p>If deferred, then you’re treated like RD – your first semester Sr year grades are counted. If accepted RD, then ensure your last semester grades don’t fall off cliff</p>
