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 1 st 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 You can be rescinded for dropping a class after you apply or if your GPA is not similar to what you applied with.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 12 th grade schedule.

Used to determine eligibility for financial aid. Overall GPA: All classes listed on your transcript. It is not weighted.

Calculating your GPA Overall GPA (non-weighted): Add all semester grades on your transcript together. Divide the total by the number of semester courses. Grades are assigned point values: A = 4 points B = 3 points C= 2 points NC= 0 points *”I” grades are temporary and are not factored into the GPA. 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 10 th and 11 th grade. Add an extra point for each semester AP course or transferable college course ( with a maximum of 8 extra points.

Check the College and Career Center’s webpage for more information.

Final Thought From Richard Shaw, Dean of Admissions at Stanford: “I continue to be deeply concerned about the burnout, exhaustion and stress some students experience as they go through important years of adolescent development…When high school is simply a way station for accumulating college credit, and a university education is viewed as a finite means to a specific end, the individual student and his or her human experience is diminished.” “What we must teach and model for our young people is that high school is as much about being as it is doing.” “As parents and adults we are too often outcome oriented— we want to know what college and which job, outcomes that are years away. A more compelling question? Who will this student be today, tomorrow and over the course of a long life?”
