<p>Well my school are saying they cannot send it out until the 3rd of January...do you think it's possible that some schools would allow me to send in my transcript the 3rd of January when the application is due 1/1? Has anyone ever tried?</p>
<p>In our area, mid-year transcripts are not available until mid-FEBRUARY. DON'T worry. Colleges can deal. You might want to send your mid-year report card to your schools with a note explaining that Guidance will follow up with the official transcript, but you're sending the report card now so they can see your grades -- esp. if they show a good trend or you're making a point about them in an essay.</p>
<p>Listen to the guy from Tufts, folks. This is good advice wherever you apply. I read lots of sob stories this summer here about rescinded admissions due to drops in grades, and most of them were at state universities. (Overenrolled UCs seemed particularly enthusiastic about tossing folks.) Don't get overconfident and slack off!</p>
<p>Oh CountingDown, do you think this will work if I send in my 1st semester report card? (We should receive it by December 23rd I believe)</p>
<p>If you are applying EA (lets say.. to Yale, or another college that does EA still), and your school's first marking period ends right on Nov. 1, same day as the deadline. Can't you just send your report card/transcript a few days after the deadline as supplementary material for them to consider? I am under the impression that if there is still relevent material that might help to send it even if it's past the deadline, so long as the other essentials are there.</p>
<p>schools are always following up for additional material after the deadline. Obviously, if everything is availalbe on deadline date, it should already be sent. There are some things that are out of your control, like end of marking periods, but of course they still want the information when available. Frequently a teacher will take theri time sending a rec but the adcoms will f/u for missing material after the deadline date and it is all admissable. Most importantly, the thinghs that are in your control (like the application!) cannot be after the deadline.</p>
<p>i live in NJ and all public schools here doesn't start until sept. so our midterms are late january...midyear grade (1st mp + 2nd mp + midterm) doesn't come out until early Feb...IS this early enough for colleges to still review it with ur application? When do colleges actually review ur app? Do they wait when they got everything in? thanks!</p>
<p>They typically wait until all material has arrived to review a file. Files are read all during Jan, Feb abd March..there is plenty of time to get everything in.</p>

<p>This is obviously assuming that one is not applying ED, EA, or earlier than next yr. In a pretty selective school, and especially a school that does rolling admissions, an earlier submission of one's application might mean extra selection points. </p>
<p>I have discovered that our state school, UIUC (ILLinois) has a deadline of 11-15 for what they call 'priority application' with an answer in a month.</p>
<p>I guess we have to weigh the extra admission points we might get from an earlier application vs the extra points from the 1st half's report, knowing that some of the slots would have been filled already.</p>

Are you saying a lot of B+ or just one B+ in a hard class? (like AP Spanish)</p>
<p>oh, and here is a hypothetical situation</p>
<p>If there are two people with very similar stats (ECs, gpa, testing, etC) and have similar Senior classes except that you has an extra AP class but has a B in that class but the other doesn’t take that class… Assuming all the other senior grades are the same and everything else is the same, who would you choose?</p>
<p>to be honest, there’s no way that I’m not getting Bs. AP Physics B has no As at all, the highest grade is like a B+ (I have like a B-/B). Valedictorian is getting a C in the class and she has never gotten below a B+ ever. AP Lit has one of the hardest teachers in the school and I’m just about getting a solid B in that class. How the hell am I supposed to be doing better?</p>
<p>^Yeah, I hope some colleges understand your situation</p>
<p>a previous poster said that colleges can make an acceptance (issued prior to mid yr or even final grades are in) pending “successful completion” of your classes.</p>
<p>what is “successful completion”?</p>
<p>*a?
*b?
*c?</p>
<p>*anything higher than a d? , than an f?</p>
<p>should the above be an average over all of the classes?</p>
<p>I know for example a college like Wellesley that requires quarter grade report for EA(Early Evaluation) and then Wellesley will only tell you: positive, most likely, or defer or reject(something like that) for EA(Early Evaluation). Wellesley will wait for your mid-year report to tell you definitely whether you get in or not. This is for EA not RD. So the bottom line is mid-year grade report matters.</p>
<p>Bob, I think it means B+ average, not just having a B in any class.</p>
