<p>I posted a thread earlier, but didnt get any replies so pardon me.</p>
<p>Is it really true that applying ED makes it so that the Colleges dont see your senior year grades (when making a decision)?</p>
<p>Some colleges check first quarter grades for ED applicants. </p>
<p>Students may not find out until later (or may not find out at all), because the admissions office calls the guidance office, not the student, for a mid-term grade report.</p>
<p>thanx brah</p>
<p>Our HS doesn't post grades until February, so the ED is made w/o any grade 12 reports. BUT, the acceptance usually has verbiage saying something to the effect of "We expect your senior grades to be in line w/ your submitted transcript" so if you blow off senior year you could get the dreaded rescinded letter.</p>
<p>Lets say a student who is basically an A student starts getting B/B+s senior year. How likely is it that the student will get his admission rescinded by a top tier college (top 20).</p>
<p>My kid was expected to send first quarter grades in for his ED application. After getting accepted, of course, he also had to submit a semester report in January/February and a final report in June.</p>
<p>I do not believe some Bs and B+'s will be the cause of any rescinding, but I am no authority.</p>

<p>But thats only b/c some school explicitly provide a form (like Duke and Amherst) and request them. But schools like Penn dont have any such requirements...correct me if im wrong.</p>
<p>I can't imagine even straight B's senior year getting an admission rescinded. Throw in a low C or 2 and it could be a different story.</p>
<p>On the flip-side. Do higher grades in your senior year than your other 3 years help to boost your application for ED?</p>

<p>All schools will see your final grades, though these are used to make sure you haven’t slacked off, not for admissions. Some ED schools take first quarter grades; others only use through junior year. But all schools will want to see your final grades and will check to make sure you haven’t caught a particularly nasty case of senioritis.</p>
<p>Colleges most often do check mid year grades for students they are considering accepting.</p>
<p>Do First-Quarter grades affect your chances of getting admitted ED?</p>
