<p>if your school includes semester/trimester grades on transcripts, do colleges look more closely at the end of year grades or the semester grades? Which do they use to calculate GPA?</p>
<p>They look closely at the end of year grades as that is how many schools report them. Senior year grades are, of course, different.</p>
<p>thanks
so when calculating gpa, would 1st trimester senior grades be considered the end of year grade?
Also, for weighted gpa on a 5.0 scale--does that mean A in an AP=5?</p>
<p>Yes and yes.</p>
