<p>If I apply regular decision but all my transcripts are already sent to all my schools...lets say they dont ask for my 2nd quarter grades until pretty late (do most schools just send 2nd quarter grades as soon as the q ends?)-- does that mean the college might have made their decision on me before they get my 2nd quarter grades??</p>
<p>No. Your second quarter/first semester grades are sent along with the Midyear Report for any college that requires it (or a similar form). First semester grades are generally required for all but early decision/action. Schools will see whatever your high school sends, whether it's quarter grades or only semester grades.</p>
