First Semester of Senior Year

Do UC schools count the gpa of the first semester of your senior year?

I currently have a 3.95 and I was hoping to bring it up to a 4.0 or higher with my first semester of senior year grades.

Is the first semester of senior year’s gpa a part of the total gpa you use to apply to colleges? (If that makes sense)

For UC’s, no only grades for a-g courses taken in 10-11th grade. Senior classes should show continued rigor and you need to maintain a 3.0 weighted GPA to maintain your admission if accepted (3.0 uw for UCLA/UCB).

Many other schools would consider your Mid-year Senior grades.
