I’m currently a sophomore and I’m planning on transferring out as a rising junior. Currently I have the grades of my freshman year and the first quarter of my sophomore year (Fall 2015). I wonder if I would be asked to send the new transcripts with the grades of Winter and Spring 2016 between the submission deadline and the release of results (~ March to June).
Any help would be appreciated!
You need to ask each of the places you are applying to about this.
In any case, your acceptance can be rescinded if the grades on your final transcript at the end of the school year have dropped too much. So don’t slack off.
Thank you for your reply!
I will definitely not slack off. The only reason I ask is just I don’t want to be in the mode of fighting for 4.0 anymore after having already done so for one and a half year. If the application is all finished at Mar. 15th than I can at least set my standard to 3.8/3.9 etc. 
Anyone knows more about this?
bump!
The only people who can answer your question, are the admissions offices at the places where you are applying. It really, truly is OK to email them and ask.
