@kevintocollege I emailed my rep 2 times asking if my marking period 1 grades would be considered if I send them, and she didn’t answer. So, my guidance counselor called the admission office, and they told her my Q1 grades were required. It doesn’t make much sense because that info wasn’t anywhere online, and if the grades were required they’d probably be posted on the portal.
A Columbia admission officer asked my counselor specifically for my mp1 grades… not sure if that means anything but ig this means that if they wanted your mp1 grades then they would request?
@AwaitingApplicant131 Is your school grading system trimester? I don’t know whether they ask my school counselor at all.
@AwaitingApplicant131 when my counselor called, she didn’t give my name, so I think the admissions office meant they were required for everyone (at least from my school)… my school gives 4 MP grades and 2 midterm/final grades and it all gets average together to 1 final grade that’s shown on our transcripts. idrk what kind of grading type this is called lol
I think my school doesn’t provide quarter grade. We only have semester grade.
Ahhh makes sense. Also my school is split into 2 semesters but we have 4 mps
Official time and date is Dec. 13 7:00 PM
Could someone also help me with my chances please?!
International student, applying to CC
ACT highest 33, superstore 34
Grade 11 grade 92% (w/o STEM 94%)
AP: two 5s, three 4s, one 3
Varsity tennis: 4 year (just player),
Writing Lab editor: 2 years,
Debate: 3 years,
Model UN: 2 years,
Creative Writing: since grade 6 (I wrote like 6 novels that are somewhere on my PC)
Spanish: 5 years,
French: 5 years
German: 2 years
Exchange in Spain: 5 weeks,
German scholarship program: 3 weeks
Strengths:
I’m not like most of the students applying from my country; they all focus on STEM, I’m more of the language/humanities person.
Drawbacks:
- Little/No leadership (because my school is STEM-heavy and they struck down all my attempts to create a literature club).
- I also crammed my application so it’s not the very very very best, but still okay.
- A strong student with lots of leadership from my school might also have applied (not sure cause (s)he lies to everyone)
Do you think they’ll take me?
Thanks and good luck to you all!
@kevintocollege, @AwaitingApplicant131
Yes, Columbia wanted 1Q grades if and as soon as they were available. See below from the Q&A on the CU Admissions website:
When are Mid-Year Reports due?
Please have your school submit the Mid-Year Report as soon as first quarter or first trimester grades are available if you are an Early Decision candidate; for Regular Decision candidates, as soon as first semester or second trimester grades are available. We will accept the documents either electronically or in paper form via postal mail or fax.
We request that Mid-Year Report/senior grades are submitted by February 1, or as soon as they are available. If you have completed high/secondary school at the time of application, it is not necessary to send in new documents.
We do not track Mid-Year Reports/senior grades through the online tracking system.
