<p>Some of the colleges I want to apply to require report card with first quarter grades. My school doesn't report them until the beginning of december. Does this mean I can't apply early action? Or do I send them without first quarter? Thanks!!!!</p>
<p>If it’s like Dec. 1 or something, you could fax them quickly but most EA schools releasing ~mid December are close to finalizing decisions by then. You are still fine to apply EA though.</p>
<p>Talk to your guidance counselor.</p>
