8.  Review the various grade inputs that kids do.  Every college does it different - weighted grades ,classification as honors or AP or Pre-AP, number of AP, [b]semester or yearly classes[/b].  It is so easy to make a mistake if you aren't careful here.  Admissions will double check these, but will they catch an error before you've been put in a lower bucket because the computer didn't give you credit for a bunch of weighted courses?    So please double check.

Question about this from a parent of a HS freshman: Is it up to the college whether they want grades by semester or by year? Or is it up to the HS?[/quote]

They will probably ask you to input it in the way that your highschool recorded them for GPA purposes.  So probably semesters, but then they might also ask you - "how many of these courses got a grade bump at your school?  Or "how many of these courses were AP Courses".  And then, the correct answer might be "14" if you took 7 courses for 2 semesters.  You just have to read it carefully because they all ask it in different ways.  It is easy to say I took 7 AP Courses, but maybe the answer is you took 7 AP Courses for 2 semesters = 14.   (Numbers are all for example, not that someone is taking 7 AP)
