<p>I have a question about how colleges recalculate GPAs...do they do it based on your term/trimester/semester grades, or based on the final grades that you received in each class? I have gotten all A's/A-'s for final year grades in all my hs classes, but have gotten a sprinkling of B+'s for trimester grades. </p>
<p>DONT GET ME WRONG, im not freaking out over B+'s or anything....i was just curious about this whole process. thanks guys :)</p>
<p>anyone?! :(</p>
<p>I actually thought trimester was the end of a term. Isn't it?
At my school we get two grades for every year, and they're both final grades that the colleges see and calculate, and they're also semester grades.</p>
<p>It might depend on what your high school sends. Except for senior mid year grades, my d's school sends only final grades. If it's a one-semester course, it's the final for that semester. If it's a year-long course, it's the final grade for the year. So they can't use the quarter grades, which are not reported.</p>
