1st Semester Senior grades

<p>I want to apply to USD and my SAT score is 1980 and i have an average GPA of 3.4, although so far my senior year i have a 4.5 GPA. The app deadline is december 15th and my first semester ends mid january so i won't be able to submit my 1st semester senior grades which i think significantly improve my chances of acceptance.
There is a late consideration deadline in February. What are my chances of getting in if i apply late but with an improved GPA? If i apply on time and get rejected, could i appeal using my first semester GPA? Can i apply on time december 15th and again for the late consideration deadline?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Just apply now. If they want to see your first semester senior grades they will ask. Use the extra space on the common app to explain your circumstances, if you wish.</p>

<p>My SAT was an 1890 and my unweighted GPA was a 3.4 and I got in last year. Perhaps they liked liked my first generation status though…there are a lot of variables.</p>
