<p>I applied to Ohio Univeristy about a month and half ago, and they requested to see my first semester grades for my senior year to make a better informed decision on my admissions. I assume this is because of my poor freshman and sophomore year grades. I'm unsure of whether this is good or bad, and I was wondering if there is anyone else that has been in this situation, and what your results were. This semester I have 3 A's, 1 B+, and 1 B, what do you think my chances are?</p>
<p>“I’m unsure of whether this is good or bad” Speculation is neither here or there – unless you know exactly their formulation and can predict the outcome, just do what they ask and keep your fingers crossed. The grades you submit certainly show a good lvl of academic maturity – exactly the thing OU is looking for. Good luck to you</p>
<p>Dude…your grades look good (just make sure you actually end up with what you think you are getting). Yeah, Ohio admissions wants to see if you are steadily improving and a serious student. It would also impress them if you took a challenging course load senior year…aint going to get much easier in college.</p>
<p>All of the highly selective schools my DS applied to requested his 1st trimester grades to help with the decision process, and he’s a NMSF with a 4.1 
I think it’s just normal practice for a lot of schools. Don’t sweat it - hopefully you had a good first semester!</p>
<p>It seems you weren’t rejected out of hand which should be a good sign.</p>
<p>I got asked to send my first quarter grades to my SCEA college, and I’ve had consistent, high grades. I wouldn’t worry about it; it’s pretty common.</p>
