<p>How much do colleges look upon your first semester senior year grades if you are applying Early Decision? I am not sure if I should hold off on applying early decision if one of my grades is on the lower side.</p>
<p>1st semester grades are not available yet when applying ED, although they will ask for your first quarter/trimester grades. They will be considered as important as the rest of your grades. Depending on your definition of “lower,” that should not necessarily hold you back from applying ED.</p>
<p>Thanks. I can do better in this course. I didn’t do well on two major assignments which is bringing my grade down for the first quarter. </p>
