I applied ED and Duke asks for Quarter grades. My school is on a Semester system. What do I do?
I would take a look here: https://admissions.duke.edu/application/instructions#transcript
“We require first quarter or first marking period grades for all Early Decision applicants by November 12 or as soon as they are available. Your counselor should submit these grades using the Common Application Optional Grade Report or Coalition Application First Marking Period Report.”
“If your school will be unable to provide us with official midterm grades by mid-November, you should request an unofficial progress report to be sent by a school official. A student’s senior year academic work is often a critical component of our review.”
Fill this out and then give it to your counselor and ask her to send it to Duke.

I also emailed them yesterday, and just in case you are taking Dual Enrollment, you don’t need to report those grades. Only stuff at High School.
