<p>I am a senior now, and I am worrying about that possible penalties of having bad semester grades. I had all A's in freshman and sophomore year. I am in the IB program and in junior year, I got three B's and a C for semester grades. For final, I had two B's, will colleges really look into my semester grades or do they only care about final grades?</p>
<p>It depends on the transcript your school sends to colleges. I would ask at the guidance office at your school.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, I know my transcript shows my semester and final grades only but I was just wondering if the college will look deep into that.</p>
<p>Then it might be a factor, but the end result will likely be more important when assessing your academics.</p>
