<p>Do highschools generally send out 3rd quarter grades, or just wait for the entire semester to send out the final grades?</p>
<p>Colleges only want and care about your final transcript.</p>
<p>For the most part, anyways. Sometimes if a student is borderline, they may request the most recent transcript for evaluation.</p>
<p>I agree with cbf88. When colleges look at your final transcript, they can reject you if you really slack off in your last semester, so make sure senioritis doesn't hit you.</p>
