<p>So...I did really bad 1st semester of my senior year. I got a D in AP Calculus. I can't say it out loud. It even hurts to type it. Anyway, I was wondering whether or not I should send my 3rd quarter grades to UC colleges (UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCR) if I improve my grade in that class. How much weight do colleges put in 3rd quarter grades? Considering I go from a D (first semester) to a B or an A (third quarter)?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>UCs don't even look at your senior grades unless you're a borderline so you should be fine.
Just make sure your GPA is high enough so that you won't get your acceptance rescinded.</p>
<p>The impact of 3rd quarter grades will be minimal if anything. Most schools will have made their decisions by middle/late March. If you're not satisfied with your semester grades, maybe you should contact the schools and offer a valid explanation or be mature and tell them how senioritis got you and how you're going to improve next semester.</p>
