<p>Do colleges see quarter grades?</p>
<p>or just semester?</p>
<p>Some schools want the first quarter grades when they come out. Some want the first semester but even those who want the first semester probably get a h.s. transcript that shows the first 2 quarters with the cumulative grade for the semester. Call each school and ask them want they want if the website is not explicit.</p>
<p>What kind of schools want to see 1st and 2nd quarter grades for 1st semester of senior year?</p>
<p>Emerson and Ithaca are 2 that I am aware of from my daughter's application process last year. There are probably others.</p>
<p>To the OP- it depends on your hs.</p>
<p>One of my hs's claimed they send out all 4 quarters on the transcript. However, I saw a copy of it last week and all that's on it is the final grade (fortunately...).</p>
<p>I don't think a school can require first quarter grades (except in ED cases), since a lot of schools give only semester grades; but they certainly can require first semester.</p>
<p>I hope they look at just semester grades. The first quarter of this year is 3 C's, 2 B's, and 1 A; the last several quarters have been straight B's. My collective GPA is around 3.97, though.</p>
<p>Is that something schools would really frown upon?</p>
