<p>How important of a factor are they for Priority Admissions?</p>
<p>Especially if they are a lot higher than 9-11. I know that some schools want students to be showing their best work first semester Senior Year. </p>
<p>What is UIUC stance on this?</p>
<p>They won’t impact your decision if you apply priority (since the HS semester isn’t over until mid-December) but they can certainly get you rescinded if you do poorly.</p>
<p>However if you’re on a quarter system or something in which you have published senior grades prior to the priority deadline, I’d assume they’d be looked at carefully.</p>
<p>■■■. I have a 3.50 GPA 9-11th grade and a 4.2 GPA in 12th so far (which is a more accurate representation of my SAT score). First quarter ends Friday, would that still give me time to send it in?</p>
<p>what about if you get deferred until regular admission?</p>
<p>i assume they will want senior 1st semester grades.</p>
<p>UIUC relies on grades and rank through junior year for admission, senior grades are not considered and they do not want any mid-year report. Senior grades have an impact only after you submit final grades in June after you have been admitted and can be used to withdraw an admission decision if they are bad.</p>
<p>Do you have any link or some kind of proof that they don’t do mid-year reports? This would make me feel really great if it was true.</p>
<p>A skeptic? It is what Illinois has done for many decades and thus it is hard to find anything that says no mid-year reports since there is nothing that has ever said they have even considered having them. However, here is an admission blog that tells you they do not consider senior year grades for admission: [U</a> of I Admissions: Blog Blog Archive Choosing your senior year schedule](<a href=“http://blog.admissions.illinois.edu/?p=1112]U”>http://blog.admissions.illinois.edu/?p=1112)</p>
<p>Haha thanks for doing the research</p>
<p>not trying to be a skeptic, but it’s always nice to see some evidence before i start slacking in my classes…</p>
<p>Slacking is not recommended. UIUC does not use senior grades to determine admission but reserves the right to withdraw any admission given if your final transcript that you submit in June shows bad grades senior year.</p>
<p>well slacking doesnt necessarily mean failing, i can just let myself get a few more Bs than usual. i don’t think id get any C’s.</p>
<p>seriously though, this news makes all the difference.</p>
<p>How bad do your grades have to be for them to withdraw your admission?</p>
<p>Like, what if you’re taking a hella hard senior schedule and you get like 3 Bs and 3 As? Or even more Bs and less As perhaps?</p>
<p>3 Bs is fine. But don’t get 3 Cs. I’m assuming the lowest they’d like to see is something like 1 A, 4 Bs, and 1 C; but even then I have no idea. They could withdraw you for whatever they feel like, so just make sure to get respectable scores compared to your past scors.</p>
