What grades do Colleges look at?

  • I was wondering if Colleges get to see each subject's grade from each report card. Example:1st quarter report card: Math: 90% English: 80% Science: 90% etc... 2nd quarter report card: Math: 80% English: 97% etc... Or do they only see the average of all subjects for each report card? Example: 1st quarter grade average: 93.168% 2nd quarter grade average: 95.239% 3rd quarter average: 96.541% etc... And also can you give me the letter conversion for grades. Like the number range for an A,B,C,D,F. Thanks a lot!!!

  • Answer:

    they see every grade for every semester since freshman year. They take that into consideration. They look especially critically on subject grades that you're majoring in. A= 95+ A-= 91-94 B+=86-89 B=85 B- =81-84 Well you can figure out the rest... Anyways, from my experience you don't have to be at the top of your class to go to the best colleges. Just keep at least a 90 average and you can go to an ivy league school. Also considering your SAT and SAT II.

To be honest, it depends on the college. Some go by ACT or SAT scores--it all depends. Research the colleges you want to go to and look up their admission requirements.

They look at all high school grades... especially 11th and 12th grades.

your colleges will only see your average for each subject, so if you got a 90 first quart. a 80 second, 85 third...ect it woont matter, they will only see the average for all those. Also, beside the averages for each subject will be a totally average of your averages too. annndddd 90-100 A 80-89-B 70-79-C 65-69-D 65 or below is F

They will get a transcript that shows your final grade in all classes that you have taken. This is what they will use to review your school performance. You look like you have pretty decent marks so you aught to be okay. Extra Curricular activities impress colleges too as long as you don't overextend yourself, so try adding a few if you are not already involved. They will see this on your transcript too.

usually just an average of the semesters orr the whole year, but if your applying to a large, nice college(ex. Harvard, Yale) they may look at the actual grades. and some colleges only look at junior and senior year, where as other look at middle-high school

i'm sure they look at each grade report, not average some classes are more important than others based on what your major will be or what school you are applying to definitely check the college you want to apply to online, they should all have websites and say what GPA ranges they look at, and what are the general requirements 100-90 % = A 89-80 % = B 79-70 % = C 69-60 % = D below 59 % = F

they mainly look at your credit count and your GPA. your GPA is the average of all the subjects at the end of the year, every year until you graduate. also, A = 100-90 B = 89-80 C = 79-70 D = 69 - 60 F = 59 - below

maee

They look at your grade for each class, like numerically a 89% in math, 72% in english, etc. Your scale actually depends on the school but most schools doo: 100-90= A 89-80+ B 79-70=C and 69 & below is failing.
