<p>Basically I want to know if when you apply, do the colleges take 9th-11th grade, or 9th-11th grade plus first part of senior year. I'm guessing if you apply regular decision they will take all 3.5 years, but if you apply early action/early decision do they still see your course load senior year?</p>
<p>I'm only asking 'cause this year I'm in all regular classes and one AP class, but next year I will be in all university-level classes</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Most schools will look at 9-11, but some schools, knowing that 9th grade is a transition year, may only look at grades from 10th and 11th grade. I don’t think that senior year grades really count for admission, though the schools do look to see that the student is not slacking off. I would suggest calling schools that you are interested in to see how they calculate GPA, but regardless, do your best even in freshman year.</p>
<p>When you apply, you have your high school send a transcript that shows your courses and grades for grades 9-11. You also lust on the Common App the courses and levels (e.g., honors, AP) that you are enrolled in at the time you apply. So colleges will have that information.</p>
<p>Most colleges and universities, but not all, will also ask for a mid-year report after your first semester is over. The mid-year report tells colleges your first-semester senior grades, and also confirms for them that you are still enrolled in the courses you listed on your original application. </p>
<p>The mid-year report is, as you say, too late for EA/ED decisions, but most colleges will ask for it and will consider your mid-year grades in RD admissions.</p>
<p>okay thanks guys
So because of the common app they will know of my enrolled classes during senior year?
I’m not worried about my actual grades. I’m confident I will do well since I have become a lot stronger as a student. I just want them to see what I’m taking so that it could work somewhat in my favor, because honestly, despite my confidence, I’m not sure I want to overload myself with college classes senior year if they won’t even see my grades let alone my course load</p>
