I’m currently a freshman at a community college and I’m looking to transfer for fall 2018. Most of my deadlines are before my final grades are published and I’m wondering if colleges will wait for my grades or if they’ll base their decision off of my first semester and HS grades.
You need to ask them.
If you are applyinf for transfer for the fall, most decisions will be based on your HS and first semester grades. Any offer of admision will be provisional, and can be rescinded if your second semester final grades are bad.
