<p>If I'm accepted to a college, they only ask for final year grades, right? If I do badly 3rd quarter but pull it up 4th quarter and for the final exam, they won't care, right?</p>
<p>Just don't fail the classes.</p>
<p>They only see the final transcript. The format of the final transcript may or may not include 3rd qtr grades depending on the school district, but pulling it up in 4th qtr would probably keep everybody happy anyway.</p>
<p>It is harder to predict rescinsions than it is to predict admissions. Obviously they don't want to do it. It has more to do with how much you fell off as opposed to what the actual grades are. (Somebody with a 4.0 might be rescinded for getting a single C.)</p>
