Does Senior Year Matter to Colleges? • Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! • Your senior year, colleges expect you to maintain a similar GPA and course rigor. • Private colleges (NOT CSU/UCs) make most admission decisions AFTER they ask your counselor to submit your 1st semester grades. • College admission is CONDITIONAL. You can be rescinded for dropping a class after you apply or if your GPA is not similar to what you applied with. Students are responsible for notifying colleges if they drop a course or have a failing grade senior year. • Colleges CAN and DO (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)rescind admission. Make sure you understand your capabilities and have chosen a manageable 12th grade schedule.

Divide the total by the number of semester courses. • Weighted GPA: Same as overall GPA but add 1 extra point for each semester AP course or transferable college course to the total before dividing by the number of semester courses (individual private universities may calculate weighted GPA differently). • UC/CSU GPA: Use only grades received in “a-g” classes from 10th and 11th grade. Add an extra point for each semester AP course or transferable college course (http://www.assist.org) with a maximum of 8 extra points.
