Colleges call high school for 1st quarter grades?

<p>I applied to a few EA schools and my guidance counselor says that if colleges are seriously considering admitting me, then they would call him and ask for my 1st quarter grades. Is this true? has this happened to anyone?</p>

<p>i need time to make up for that AP calc grade i got first marking period. i NEED second marking period! they can't do that to me! omg i hope not</p>

<p>Our GC said it was the district's practice not to release any grades until the end of the first semester.</p>

<p>Yes, when my DS went to ask his counselor to send grades to his ED school he was told that they had already called. He got in.</p>

<p>oh i dont want them to do this...</p>
