Senior first sem. Grades?

<p>Are they calculated into final GPA by colleges for regular decision?
I want to apply to Cornell ED, but my gpa would theoretically be .03 higher if I applied RD instead of ED.</p>

<p>I was originally told that yes, they do count.
But, I have just been told by anothergalaxy that “Your initial transcript shows you GPA until junior year, but the mid-year report that your counselor must send in later shows your senior year grades for first semester.”</p>

<p>So they do matter, regardless whether they boost your GPA on your first transcript or not. Colleges will take them into consideration.</p>
