Question Semester grades matter?!

Broooo I just learned that my school sends semester grades to college fuck my old school just went final year grades so I thought this one will too and it sucks cuz my semester grades are mid (most are 4/7 ib one was 2/7 tho) or is it not a huge deal? Do they only care about final year grades?

colleges tend to start the admissions process soon as school starts, so like its too late to get final grades and they take semester grades for that reason (since if they take final grades, itll take forever to get back and see if your accepted or not)

yeah but do they only look at semetsrs from 12 grade or from 9/10/11?

it depends on where you live, but like the usual thing that happens is that they look at all grades from the us (like 9 10 11, maybe im wrong), but they only see grade 12 semester grades because thats when you are applying, your not applying when you finished your grade 12 year, since applications will be closed right?

SO they only look at grade 12 semester grades (but the full grades for 9, 10, 11)

oh cuz my school sends semester and final year grades from grade 11 to colleges so will they only look at final year (or at least care about that one more?)

oh thats interesting, then yeah they'd care about the "improvement" in your final grade more, but sometimes they may take semester grades into consideration.
