First Semester v. Final Semester Transcripts

Applying to College

<p>I was wondering do colleges look at only your final semester transcript or do they look at both your first and final high school transcripts. I'm currently a Senior and I'm doing a horrible job in my first semester. I'm taking mainly AP courses, and I'm worried I will not get accepted to the University of Central Florida. The first semester is going to end in less than 2 weeks, but for two of my classes I might have two F's and I've NEVER gotten an F before, and if possible I might be able to bring one of those F's to a D or just omit it altogether. I have gotten two D's but I retook those courses online and had gotten B's in both classes. My possible first semester grades are:</p>

<p>Game Programming II (A) *This class is counted three times so I'll have three A's for this class.
English IV: College Prep (A)
AP Government (C)
AP Physics (F; I'm trying to change out of this class and go to Physics Honors. Hopefully they may just drop my grade.)
AICE Math (F)
AP Psychology (A)</p>

<p>So I was wondering if colleges, like UCF, will look at my first semester transcript or final transcript, meaning that I'll have to haul booty through all of second semester?</p>

<p>Colleges will not see your grades until after they accept you. But they can rescind the offer when they see your grades. D’s and F’s are not cool with them. Try to get those grades erased</p>

<p>This depends on the school, some colleges require a mid year report which they look at before making decisions, others don’t.</p>

<p>OP, Take a look at the UCF website and see if they require a mid year report:</p>
