<p>i've had C's and C+'s for semester grades...but at the end of the year, all four quarters combined with my finals and midterms, end up being B+'s and A's.</p>
<p>So will colleges see the C's on my transcript....and if they do, will they care?</p>
<p>My school only shows semester grades, first and second. It really just depends on the school/system.</p>
<p>Get a transcript from your school. </p>
<p>Colleges will look at every grade on it.</p>
<p>to find out just request a copy of your transcript. My school only shows fina; grades, not semester grades so it depends on your school.</p>
<p>okay i see. so what matters most to them?</p>
<p>Depends on the colleges.
Like I know Caltech mostly cares about math/science grades.</p>
<p>Grades in academic classes matter most i.e. math, English, science, history, foreign language.</p>
<p>def. grades in academic classes like dntw8up said, unless you were going to college for the fine arts then i would assume they would look at those grades</p>
