<p>Do colleges care about individual quarter averages or overall averages- that is all of them added together? I'm worried because one quarter I got a bad grade and it is going to bring downn that average, but it still works out to B+ overall for that class, so will they look at just the "total" or each semester?</p>
<p>And to figure out gPa, is is FreshUW+SophUW+JuniorUW+Senior1st quarter UW or is it just freshmand, sophomore, junior with the senior grade separate? Or do they see one gpa for each year?
Confused!</p>
<p>Thank you for any insight!

<p>It depends on how your school transcripts. Some schools put down the final grade that you got at the end of each semester. This usually happens in larger schools where student do not have the same teacher all year long. </p>
<p>D went to a small high school where they kept the same schedule and set of teachers from september until june. In 9th grade they did put in grades by the term. By 10th grade they started just putting on the transcript the final grade for the year. </p>
<p>If a student was applying ED, then the transcript contained the grades for the first marking period senior year. If a student applied RD, the transcript had all grades until the end of the second marking period (half way point of the year ) on the transcript. </p>
<p>Regarding weighted/unweighted. I suggest that you go by your GC's office and get a copy of the high school profile. This is what the high school sends to the college along with the transcript, and GC recommendations. On the profile it will state whether or not your school weights grades and how each course is weighted (regular, honors, AP). It will also state as to whether or not your school ranks, how ranks are determined and if your transcript contains both a weieghted and unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>I was also wondering if one's "final" gPa is the first three years or if colleges see all three separate.
(If that makes any sense)</p>
<p>Thank you for the help!</p>
