<p>I was deferred in December from early action and have since gone on to have a less than stellar first semester this year grade-wise. I know in my deferral letter it stated that I am encouraged to update my grades; however, I was wondering if Notre Dame required mid-year grades from deferred applicants.</p>
<p>I’d call admissions to find out exactly what “encouraged” means.</p>
<p>Since they require a Mid-Year Report as part of the application, I assume they need everyone’s first semester grades.</p>
