International student questions
I'm an international student, and i'm curious if it's true that the UC admissions officers will pay less attention to Freshman and Senior Year grades? and if that's true, my country only has 3 levels of high school (10th,11th,12th). So that means they will only pay more attention to my 11th grade scores (?)

Admissions officers at all colleges will pay the most attention to your junior year grades. If you apply regular decision, they will also care about your first semester senior grades. Your grades as a sophomore are weighed more than your freshman year grades, but not as heavily as your more recent academic performance.
In your case, admissions officers will pay the most attention to your 11th grade scores. If your transcript has any 12th grade scores, they will place more importance on those than your 10th grade performance. Hope this helps!
