Do colleges look at your quarter grades or your semester grades?

Answer 1

They look at everything, starting from high school. But they concentrate more on semester grades.

Answer 2

Colleges don't necessarily care when you received the grades.What they're looking for is what grade you got and in what subject. If you were getting an C in a honors math class and now you're getting an A in remedial math--they might notice that. They pay close attention to all of the grades on your transcript. So whatever grades get sent to them those are the ones they're going to see. If quarter grades are only mid-point grades and don't get recorded on your fina transcript then colleges have no way of seeing them. But if you get a grade 4 times a year then they will look at all 4 quarters not just the middle and the end. Colleges also pay more attention to your last two years of high school. The reason is that for some schools they don't really start to separate the students into jr and sr years. The first two are basic, introductory courses.

Those are also the years they expect you should be much more grounded in an academic routine and have a solid core curriculum out of the way and be taking advanced and extra courses.

Answer 3

The colleges see what your high school shows. The first thing you want to do is go and talk to your high school guidance counselor and ask him/her what your school shows to colleges.

For example, a local high school in my area only shows year end grades. This, I believe is good, because it allows for variation and mistakes by students without penalizing them. Other schools in the area show quarter, semester, midterm and final exam grades, and over all grade.

Some other schools in the area show actual number grades for quarter, semester, midterms, finals, and year end averages.

I prefer high schools that show less, it allows more students to have a shot at college admissions.

Also does your school rank? And does your school usually get students into top schools?

These are all questions for which you should seek answers.

When I graduated from high school, the transcripts had semester grades only. If it's still done this way, it seems the only way they can get quarter grades is if you volunteer them.
