<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>i would think they'd consider end-of-year grades more important... and as for GPA, i'm not really sure, but probably end-of-year as well.</p>
<p>thanks! does anyone know for sure? if I have a downward trend in semester grades, but not as much for the year, does the same logic apply?</p>
<p>buummmpppp</p>
