I am applying to a top school and they just asked my college advisor to inform me to send my senior year first quarter grades, but there is another kid in my class applying and he was not asked. What does it mean if you are/ are not asked to send in your grades? While I know I cannot read too much into it, for they are only one part of an entire application, do you think this could be seen as a positive or a negative?
One thing it means is that you are still in the running. As for your classmate, you can’t conclude anything
either way.
If they’re good, it would help you. It has happened at my school that EA/ED schools who receive a lot of applications from students at my school ask for the first quarter grades to differentiate between applicants.
