@Erikj28 I doubt that’s true… cause my school is on trimester? And I’ve only seen 3 people in this discussion who were asked to send the grades
@kairos123 trimester systems are essentially quarter systems as far as high school goes.
@Erikj28 My school isn’t on the quarter system though, we’re on the semester system. Dartmouth asked for an unofficial grade report
When is the anticipated release date? U Penn’s is Friday.
@buffalo11 The admissions office announced last Tuesday that decisions would be announced on the 14th.
Where did they announce it?
@buffalo11 in the Facebook livestream and also on Instagram.
To all you people asking about quarter and trimester grades…
My college counselor (who worked on the admissions end of this process for years before coming to my school) said that quarter and trimester grades are a way for your early schools to make sure you’re keeping up with your classes. Generally these grades should be advantageous/have no effect to your applications unless you’re literally failing your classes. Some schools automatically send these grades in for you but if you get asked then you need to request it from your school’s college counseling office.
Hope that answers some questions.
@JessMelody Do you know if they request these grades from people they want to accept or do they request them from everyone?
@kairos123 and @sc5599 My mistake. I know about just as much as all of you and can only speculate!
Did AOs state how many ED applications they received in the Facebook livestream?
I just received an email this morning asking about my FinAid forms. The FA office told me that I can apply for FA as late as November 2017, so is this a good sign they want it now ?
Or maybe I’m grasping for straws because of how stressed this wait has me.
@sc5599 my school is also on the semester system but Dartmouth doesnt ask me to send any grades… I’m an international student btw. How’s this supposed to mean…?
I was not asked to send grades either, unless my counselor did and didn’t notify me.
Based on this thread, it seems that requests for first quarter grades have been fairly random and I’m assuming don’t mean much.
I think It depends on the system of the school. If it is a quarter system the grades are requested. If it is a semester system they are not because most likely final grades are not available.
I agree with @CheekyNandos My school is on a quarter system and unless I wasn’t informed don’t believe they requested my grades.
My school is on a semester system but Dartmouth still called to ask for my grades
