First Quarter Grades in Admissions

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>My school sends in first quarter grades to EA/ED school and my EA school is georgetown. My senior grades, however, (first quarter) aren't as good as my freshman, soph, jr year grades. (B in English, B+ in AP European History, B in AP Spanish, A in AP Stat, A- in AP Chem).. I have had straight As throughout high schools. Due to much harder classes, a D on a paper (***) and lots of work with colleges and emotional issues, my first quarter grades weren't al dente.</p>

<p>How much will this hurt against me? I thought georgetown didn't look at senior grades, since some schools don't send those in.</p>

<p>Honestly, I don't think a few Bs will hurt you too much, although jr year and first quarter senior grades are the most important... Georgetown will take into consideration your AP courseload...</p>

<p>^strange, at the info session georgetown says that for Early Action, it only counts up to junior year...</p>

<p>that could be true... I'm speaking generally, but whatever you hear from the info session is right...</p>

<p>but when I called georgetown they said they do if the school sends them in... ugh</p>
