<p>but do colleges factor in your first semester GPA of your senior year when applying regular action?</p>
<p>For example, if my GPA is 3.7 at the end of junior year, but I end finishing two classes at the end of first semester of senior year and get A's in both, are those factored into my GPA???</p>
<p>If you are applying for the regular decision rounds, then YES your first semester Senior year grades matter and are part of your cumulative GPA. As a matter of fact, this is one of the best reasons why people skip EA/ED and opt for applying RD – the hope that great grades 1st semester Sr year boost overall GPA.</p>
