How important are second semester grades for uc's?

<p>so first semester of high school ends in January and i was wondering if they have any significance in the decision made by the uc's. don't they only see our 9,10,and11 grades? thanks</p>

<p>Senior grades don’t have any significance for ADMISSION- they don’t even see them until after you’re admitted. However, if your senior year grades (both 1st and 2nd semester) are low, your offer of admission may be rescinded.</p>

<p>I’ve been told you can also appeal admissions decisions with your senior grades if you REALLY REALLY want to go to a certain UC, but I’m guessing it’d be a crapshoot.</p>
