Do colleges like UCSD, FIU, Northeastern university, montclair state university, and University of San Diego look at your first semester of senior year? I’m taking three honors classes(pre calculus, English 4, and spanish 3) and my cgpa is 2.8. I want atleast a 3.0 my the end of the first semester. Will this make any difference? Thanks.
UCSD does not consider your Senior grades for admission purposes. USD will ask for a Senior Mid-year report so bumping up your GPA will help but it would still be a Reach just based on a 3.0 GPA. I know nothing about the rest of the schools on your list. If you are in-state California, there are several Cal states where a 2.8-3.0 GPA would be accepted. What are your test scores? EC’s? Will you have good LOR’s?

You have no chance at Northeastern. You would need a GPA of 3.75+ to be competitive.
