<p>I'm curious..</p>
<p>First quarter or semester grades will be considered for admission. All schools expect you to keep the grades at least close to your cum (no checking out totally during senior year). If you don’t they can revoke your admission. Some schools will revoke your admission for D or an F.</p>
<p>So, could very good senior year grades actually <em>help</em> a student in the admissions process?</p>
<p>^yes, it’s a part of the process.</p>
<p>What if you get straight A’s from 9-11 then you get half/mostly B’s and only half/a couple A’s in senior year?</p>
<p>OK, well I go to a yearly school in Ontario, Canada. I get a unofficial mid-term report card in November, which is solely for the purpose of showing our parents our achievements for all of six weeks of school. The universities in Ontario (possibly Canada for that matter) don’t even see these grades(they see the ones in February, which is after we’ve done our mid-year exams in January), but it is the only senior marks that I will have before US college applications are due.</p>
<p>So when I submit my application (note: I will be only applying to some Ivies and Stanford, possibly one or two others), I presume I submit this unofficial report, along with my official transcript (only shows marks of courses that have been completed) and credit counselling summary (shows all marks, mid-term, first term and final of all courses completed and uncompleted)? Do I also have to submit my most up-to-date marks just before I send in my application (i.e. this set would reflect any changes between my November report and December)? And in February, I assume I have to submit another set of marks?</p>
<p>bump bump.</p>
<p>AnalysisModePEG - We get the same thing here (Illinois), called a Progress Report. As far as I know, there is no need at all to send such a report to any university. They will only consider your final semester grades.</p>
<p>AT my school, I take 8 courses over the course of a year. By final semester gardes, I’m assuming you mean final marks in June. Obviously, you submit these grades to the univesrity you’ve chosen. So when I apply in December, I submit a mid-term report for grade 12 and offical transcript and then I don’t submit another set of marks in Februrary? That really doesn’t make sense, because the mid-term report covers 6 weeks of class, whereas the February marks encompass a mid-year exam as well as 5 months of work.</p>
<p>Other opinions?</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>What if you get straight A’s from 9-11 then you get half/mostly B’s and only half/a couple A’s by end of first semester in senior year?</p>
<p>If you have straight A’s all through, that is what shows on your transcripts sent for applications. Students with top grades are not usually asked to submit mid-year grades and most applications are submitted long before semester grades come out. I think that it is the policy of some schools to only list senior classes for applications. For many students, a quarter grade of B is not relevant because they will work to get it to an A by the end of the semester/year, so posting a lower quarter grade is not beneficial.</p>
<p>wat about UC’s
do you know??
sorry for interrupting!</p>
<p>@letsgo7: Go post in another sub-forum, you’re in the wrong place.</p>
<p>AT my school, I take 8 courses over the course of a year and we have an exam in January and a reporting period in FEbruary. So it is not necessary to submit February marks?</p>
