Current Applicants: Has anyone received a request for midyear grades yet?

<p>I have yet to receive anything, although apparently USC has completed a preliminary evaluation of my application.</p>

<p>Anyone get a request?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>I already have the grades for three of my college courses, but it's the high school classes that are holding me up.</p>

<p>So did this request just come in the mail or did they send you some sort of e-mail notification? I'm guessing they finished the preliminary evaluation of your app as well?</p>

<p>Anyone else? ;)</p>

<p>NO! I'm still at "we have received and are reviewing your app blah blah check back occasionally." I'm really worried. It was last updated 12/9. Did they forget me?</p>

<p>mine was last updated on november 4th....</p>

<p>i check it like twice a day. some people had their preliminary review done in about a week, mines taking over 2 months. i have noooo idea why either.</p>

<p>Nope I have not my application is still under review</p>

<p>I recieved the same message as forgottenhawk
I think that once you get your senior year mid year report
you should just send them in as quick as possible.</p>

<p>did you do the dec 10th deadline?</p>

<p>Yep I turned my application in on Dec. 8th.</p>

<p>Okay, for everyone who's been getting this message: </p>

<p>"We have completed a preliminary review of your application. We sometimes request additional information (senior-year grades, for example), so be sure to watch the mail. You may submit senior year grades at <a href="http://www.usc.edu/MDYResponse%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.usc.edu/MDYResponse&lt;/a>, even if we did not specifically request them. We are continuing to review applications and expect to mail notification of a decision by April 1st"</p>

<p>Are you going to just submit when you get the midyear grades, or wait for a request? Will it look bad if I don't submit until they ask? My senior grades are probably not up to par with my past grades, so i'm getting a little worried. </p>

<p>Best of luck to everyone!!</p>

<p>My first semester grades don't come out until February, as I don't have finals week for another two weeks (it's the week of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day). I'm going to wait until February or the request.</p>

<p>I am going to wait as well. I have finals the same week as QuixoticRick (not surprising as we're both from the Bay Area, heh).</p>

<p>I've got my preliminary review now, it says. I haven't gotten a midyear grade request yet, but I sent them online. Now I need to mail them</p>

<p>Yeah, my finals are actually in the last week of January, and my school just said that they won't send out midyear reports till mid-February. And does anyone know around when the request for midyear reports come out? I always thought they were in January, since scholarship consideration people get their letters at the end of Jan.</p>

<p>I really hope they don't ask me.....but I'm sure they will. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how often they ask? Like 80% of applicants or something?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you're asked for your midyear grades if you're not a prospective Trustee/Presidential scholar. Last year, there were 138 Trustee recipients and 352 Presidential recipients. Total applicants: 33754. So you do the math ;)</p>

<p>But there's more prospective scholars than actual recipients right? Anyone got an idea of how many more?</p>

<p>omg guys i'm scared too! :(
im still stuck at "we've completed preliminary."
i seriously hope they wont request midyear because i have a stupid C+ in AP chem to hide from them!!</p>

<p>my prep school has been sending out all my transcripts and everything through an organized system.. if they ask for my grades should i just give the letter to my school, then they send out my mid-year grades??</p>

<p>im kind of wondering when i should be getting this letter too... within the month?</p>

<p>uhm okay so i found out my first semester grades and there actually much better than i had anticipated. so i think i actually might submit them by choice...should i wait till i get asked for a mid years or should i just submit anyway? k thanksss</p>

<p>btw, i mean self report since my school sends out our grades first week of february anyway...</p>
