Would 1st semester senior year grades be considered in the admissions process?

<p>Prospective freshman here, currently a junior in high school. I really want to make good grades senior year and be able to send them in. Would UIUC look at 1st semester senior year grades?</p>

<p>Can I improve my chances if I send additional information to support my application or come to campus for an interview?</p>

<p>◦Additional materials, such as letters of recommendation and senior year grades, will not be considered.</p>
