Final Grades of Semester 1

<p>Hey guys so i just took my final exams and this is what my grades for honors physics, ap calc AB and AP Bio look like:</p>

<p>honors physics: B-
AP Calc AB: C+ (got a 65 on the final...)
AP Biology: C+ (haven't gotten my final grade yet)</p>

<p>I've applied to UMich, UWash, UWisc, Wake Forest, and UArizona.
Could I get into these?
My GPA right now is a 3.27UW but shows a really good upward trend each semester. For example, in chemistry, I got a B- first semester but second semester I got an A. Help!</p>

<p>How much will this affect me? I've applied regular decision for all of those. My past years have been showing an upward trend but i'm really worried about this semester. Does anyone have any insight? What would colleges think if I switched out of Calc AB into a different course?</p>

<p>Please please let me know! I'm really worried</p>

<p>ahh someone please reply!?!</p>

<p>Senior grades grades aren’t taken to consideration during the admission process. It is rarely used if you are asked for augmented review.</p>

<p>lol supremeeazn is definitely wrong. Senior grades are a very important aspect in their decision. I don’t know exactly how much these are weighted, but I do know that colleges will not make any final decision until they have seen your 1st semester report. It may not break you since it’s just one semester, but no doubt it will hurt your chances. Nothing you can really do about it now though</p>

<p>It actually depends on which college he applies to. For example, CSU’s in California accept students based on courses from 10th-11th and the rigor of your senior schedule. In fact I know people who have already been accepted without finishing their first semester of senior year yet.</p>

<p>Well most of what I was saying was based on the schools that he listed to which he had applied for regular decision. And yes 1st semester senior grades don’t matter as far as decisions for ED/EA if that’s the case. But I get what you mean, there are places that do not care regardless. For the OP, I do not believe that will be the case</p>
