EDII and senior grades...

<p>Do senior grades (first semester or quarter) have to be sent to a school if you're applying ED II?</p>

<p>All schools will want to know senior year grades, preferably as soon as they are available. I was at a college fair yesterday, and a dean of admissions cautioned students to remember that offers of admission were provisional. They take senior year courseloads and grades very seriously.</p>

<p>Right, I understand acceptance is provisional to senior year grades, but I guess what I was trying asking is how much of a bearing will these grades have, especially if applying early?</p>

<p>ED2 dealines are usually jan 1. They definitely will want 1st if not 2nd quarter grades. If you don't want to have those grades seen until later on, you best apply ED1.</p>

<p>My son applied ED I and they wanted his first quarter grades. They did say that if your school doesn't record first quarter grades, you aren't expected to send them naturally. But otherwise first quarter grades were in the mix of what they looked at in making a decision.</p>

<p>My guess (and it's just a guess) is that if you're taking challenging classes and you have a B or two on your quarter grades, but nearly all A's in previous years, that it wouldn't kill you. If there was a more precipitous decline at the quarter grades or the classes were slacker classes or something like that, it may go the worse for you. That's just an uninformed hunch, however.</p>

<p>by the way, what schools offer EDII?</p>
