Are you public or private?

I find it shameful and think its used as a tool to dissuade students from their dreams; while helping the purported stats of college acceptance from the office.
Clearly its not accurate and extracurruculars, uniqueness, time spent outside of school, relevance to the cohort and often academic pathways demonstrating interest in a program.
Thats not for one second what Maia can assess for any student and nobody should put this inhibiting bias on any student

I don't know the extent to which colleges use the 7-semester GPA from mid-year (whether the college recalculates or takes it from the mid-year report) rather than the end-of-junior year, 6-semester GPA.
Has anyone ever asked an AO this?
yes. Ours (DC private) reflects the GPA at the end of junior year.
Thanks. My question isn't what the scatterplot reflects but whether colleges use the 7-semester GPA in RD admissions review.
Schools that have an ED1 round and an ED2/RD round (or just an ED round and RD round) always ask for grades for the 7th semester (senior year fall).
What ends up happening is that 9-11th grades are sent by the high school at the time of application. Then the f7th semester is sent when it's available.
So who knows how the colleges reviews things. The 7th semester is ALWAYS received separately. Do they somehow calculate it into the overall GPA? Do they view it as a separate data point? Do they never review it? Who knows.
While it's unclear to us parents, someone knows. Hence my asking the question.
