senior yr grades: important?

<p>do colleges see ur senior yr grades if u apply ED/EA? i mean at least first MP? what if u apply RD also?</p>

<p>For ED/EA, no. </p>

<p>For RD, they'll see your first semester grades.</p>

<p>If they request a midyear, they are gonna see your first semester grades as well.</p>

<p>^u mean ED ifthey request a midyear?</p>

<p>^ No, he means only RD. By the time a decision needs to be made for ED, it'll still be way before first semester ends.</p>

<p>^okay, so it's guaranteed that they'll first semester grades for RD?</p>

<p>after 1st MP...i guess we can relax a lil?</p>

<p>Senior grades are pretty important for colleges that see them. I believe they are second in order of significance right after Junior year grades.</p>

<p>No, it's not guaranteed that first semester grades will be seen for RD. Some colleges don't require midyear reports (e.g. the UC's), so those grades may not be seen. </p>

<p>Also: What do you mean by MP?</p>

<p>MP is marking period. my schools does marking periods, not semesters. </p>

<p>anyway... i kinda screwed up my junior yr w/bunch of B's...eh... idk how colleges will view that. i'm looking at some top schools like JHU or even some ivies...</p>

<p>Don't worry about it. B's won't kill you; hurt a little, but not kill.</p>

<p>what about rank?--can it kill...</p>

<p>thanks. now i'm just kinda scared about the whole college app process. heart attacks!</p>

<p>lol. i went from being in the top 10 to...idk where. but still in the top 10%. however, that's like nothing for the most selective schools</p>
