<p>Are there any other colleges besides MIT and Caltech that require a Feb update or midyear report for RD admission?</p>
<p>It depends on when the original app was submitted. If a student submits in November, for example, the semester grades are going to be important to admission decisions. All schools want updates for RD to include semester or first term grades if those were not submitted with the original school report.</p>
<p>I’m confused, have you gone to the college websites for the schools, other than MIT & Caltech, that you’ve applied to? I took a look at a couple of other schools that it looks like you applied to and their websites are very clear about midyear reports.</p>
<p>Almost all of them do. Do you really think they don’t want to evaluate your first semester grades?</p>
<p>There may be some that do not, but they are few and far between.</p>
<p>BTW, if you’re not sure, send the report. If it’s required, you’re covered, and if it’s not, it won’t hurt you.</p>
<p>I can’t think of one college my kids looked at or applied to that does not require the midyear report.</p>
<p>My son’s high school automatically sends out mid-year reports to all colleges that he requested them to send transcripts.</p>
