<p>Hi. I have a GPA of 4.27 weighted currently. I am sure I can bring it up to about a 4.3-4.37 by the end of the first semester of my senior year.</p>
<p>I was wondering, do colleges count the end of your first semester of senior year grades?</p>
<p>Do private universities - ie Stanford - accept 9th grade's grade?</p>
<p>Some colleges ask for a midyear report, which is your first semester grades. Sometimes they count, mostly if you are applying RD, but mostly they seem to be used to make sure you aren't slacking and don't have senioritis.</p>
<p>Not sure about your second question, but I'm sure someone on here knows.</p>
<p>Freshman year does not have the same weight as your soph. & jr. years, although they gravitate to students who hit the ground running-most difficult course load-and earning A's. The UCs look at your transcripts after you have graduated, and will rescind offer of admissions.</p>
<p>Stanford does NOT take 9th grade marks into consideration. They recalculate your GPA based on your sophomore and junior grades on an unweighted 4.0 scale taking only core academic classes into acount.</p>
<p>they dont take into account any advanced classes u took?</p>
<p>:/ I thought Stanford looked at a weighted scale. Without weight and ninth grade, I probably only have a 3.95 or so. :/</p>
<p>Princeton Review's website says their avg is 4.3, so I assumed that meant it was weighted.</p>
<p>They consider the rigor of your curriculum but they don't weight grades.</p>
