<p>Do they get counted towards your overall GPA? And if they do, does it only have half weight (as it is only halfway through the year) or full year weight? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I know at my school we used the midyears as a "seventh semester" so what they did is they take your year long GPAs from 9th/10th/11th grade, double them, add the midyear GPA, and then divide by 7....
Hope that helps.</p>
<p>well i had bad midyear grades and still got into cmu, so they don't seem to be that important...at least not for me.</p>
<p>lol. midyear gpa's never matter. it's all a lie. they just check to make sure you didn't fail out of HS.</p>
<p>when they "defer" an app, they are just waiting for more apps to compare you to. your midyear gpa never matters.</p>
<p>What's your basis that it doesn't matter. Logically, I see no reason why they wouldn't just treat it like a second semester.</p>
<p>al6200 has a point.</p>
