does columbia require 1st quarter grades?

if i want to submit my first quarter grades, can i just mail them to the admissions office? i know that on their website it says to submit mid year reports, but my school doesn’t submit mid year reports for early schools.

Talk to your counselor about how and if your school sends in the first quarter and first semester grades. And im almost certain that you cannot mail your grades. They have to be on a secure and officially submitted transcript.

1st quarter grades are not requested or expected for early decision. I had my counselor send mine officially as our quarter ended days before the nov. 1st deadline, but I’m not sure exactly how he went about it.
