Will your mid year report make or break a decision? I was wondering because in my previous years of high school I’ve achieved mostly all As (4.5w, 3.96uw gpa), however my first semester senior grades aren’t the best. They’re most likely going to end up as straight Bs with possibly one A. My course rigor is still great, as I’m taking 4 IB classes and 1 AP class, but I’m worrying if this slip in grades could heavily influence my application decision.

I’m applying EA and OOS

Yes it will but the school is taking covid and our new reality into their decision making. Any grade dip is a negative as you know. Using being remote etc is not an excuse since the reality is we might be doing it next fall also (hope not). Apply EA and you might get deferred to RD with everybody else. You will have to submit grades through midterm. Turn this around. Bs in their self are not bad. A downward trend though is. Plus your OOS and that never helps. Good Luck.
