How much of senior year to colleges see?

Applying to College

<p>when considering the application for admission. My school has the block schedule which means we have two semester and 4 quarters. Report cards are sent out after every quarter. I received straight As this first marking period. However, my school also has "progress reports" that go out mid-quarter. Obviously for regular decision there is not enough time to get a full quarter 2 in. My question is will these colleges see this score when they first accept/deny me. I am leaning towards no they won't because they are pending grades, and there is no way that these would be weighted fairly with full quarter one's grades.</p>

<p>The reason I ask is because I am currently getting a B in an extremely difficult AP History class. After each quarter, not during mid-quasrters, he changes this grade because he realizes how hard his class is. Basically, he weighs them. He obviously won't do this mid-quarter. Also, I understand that colleges get a final report at the end of the year; however, I am always able to up my game when I need to, so I am not really worried about that.</p>

<p>I don't believe colleges will see or want a mid-quarter "progress report." For EA and ED decisions are often made with only the quarter report. Most RD decisions won't be made until after 2 quarters of the high school year are completed. There is a "mid-year report" that high school guidance offices generally send to admissions offices.</p>

<p>As for how much of the senior year colleges will ultimately see, the answer is ALL OF IT. Several kids at my daughter's school contracted extreme senioritis after their mid-year reports were mailed to the colleges they applied to. Their offers of admission were RESCINDED after they screwed up in a major way during Spring semester.</p>
