<p>I dont know how it is in your school but in my school the transcripts that are sent out dont show quarter grades or final exams grades. they only show semester grades. So considering you still have pretty good semester grades than I wouldnt worry (that is if your school is like mine)</p>
<p>yeah its a little iffy. If you write them a letter explaining that ur grades dropped because of college apps, it may seem like an excuse (not that its not, b/c i know what youre going through). but if you dont write them a letter, youre hoping that one of the adcom's looks at it and says "oh cc1256 was probably finishing up apps then, let's give him/her the benefit of the doubt for her grade drop". honestly i think Lucaskhan is right, i mean i think it gets you rejected if you are borderline, but if you arent close to the fence, i dont think it matters too much.</p>
