<p>So if a college, say UPenn, has an application deadline for regular decision of January 1st, will first semester senior grades be seen? I really hope so... I don't want my junior year grades to be the last thing colleges see, as I didn't do too well last year.</p>
<p>Yes, they will be seen.</p>
<p>Yes, even if your first semester ends affter January 1, they willmost likely require a midyear report to be sent in order to look at your senior year grades as a part of your application.</p>
