<p>Colleges see them. Yes I know that. But will they have an effect on my rank/gpa</p>
<p>Of course they will. You could drop down in rank. And most colleges reserve the right to take back your acceptance for severely declining academic record during your Senior Year.</p>
<p>You really have to mess up for any college to rescind your admission. (Getting tons of C's and D's)</p>
<p>My county calculates rankings based only on the first six semesters (three years) of high school, but other districts may do it differently.</p>
<p>Ya. That's why I mentioned severely declining. I bet colleges would understand if you had a good reason. Like. . . foreclosure, death of parents, etc. Those would be hard to work through AND maintain good grades. </p>
<p>I wish our class rankings were only the first three years. Ours keep going to the end. But that might be good for me. Maybe more kids will start getting A-'s. :D</p>
