Is the idoc request only if you applied for financial aid?
My daughter didn’t get this IDOC request. That may be a bad sign.
Welcome @sqzhyg - I don’t know what an idoc request is but wanted to let you know we didn’t receive one. (We didn’t apply for FA so maybe that is why?)
Just wanted to welcome you here!
What is IDOC? I’m embarrassed to ask and have a kid in this ED game 
Not a clue here either!
Welcome to CC!!!
I had to google it.
Maybe this? It could be related to financial aid? I am not sure?
Any idea if the first term grades have to be provided before the ED date? My daughter’s school has not provided them yet. There is still time, but I wanted to know how important that was, considering her grades for the first semester won’t be released until January.
Unfortunately, I don’t know. I imagine they can’t fault you though for not sending them if the school hasn’t any grades yet to send.
Our school has quarter grading periods and the first one finished the day or two after ED deadline so we had school send those first quarter grades then.
S won’t have semester grades until late Jan, I believe.
Thank you! I will ask her school what they have done in the past as I am sure others have applied to Brown in the last few years.
It’s better your counselor writes an email to explain the first term grades. It’s acceptable that your school couldn’t provide the grades now, but let Brown know that.
Will do, thanks!
My son’s counselor sent in quarterly grades, which was available at ED. I think they said Feb is the deadline, but she’s planning on submitting something when our semester ends in Dec. our mid year report would be submitted in Jan. That’s how she explained it to us.
Your son’s counselor is doing great. Anyone knows the decision date? I just know the portal will be down a few days before the announcement.
Hey all,
I just received an email from the financial aid office about requesting additional IDOC info. It seems like they’re still sending them out so if you haven’t received anything yet it’s possible that they may still ask
Hello,
So I applied to Brown ED and apparently, my guidance counselor never sent in my 1st quarter grade report. Would this cause Brown to no longer consider me as an applicant? If not, then would they penalize me for the missing report? I’m assuming they’ve probably already viewed my application by now given how close the decision release date is.
Brown will contact your guidance counselor if they need your 1st quarter grade report. By the way, did you receive the email regarding the missing materials, including the missing 1st quarter report? The email asked you to inform your counselor of sending the report when it’s available in November or December.

No, I never got an email about the missing materials. As of now, my counselor also hasn’t been contacted by Brown.
The email said students asked their counselors to send in the quarter grade report as soon as it’s available. I think it’s better to ask your counselor to send in or explain why the report cannot be provided. I know some schools don’t offer 1st quarter grade this year.

Thanks. I can ask him to send them again.
Aren’t decisions already pretty much finalized by now though? And would it be a good idea for me to email and explain why it’s late?
