I plan on applying early decision to a top 30 school, but my first quarter grades may potentially end with 2 Bs and 4 As. How bad would this look to AOs? Would this be enough to defer a student?
Were you an All-A student last year? If so, the admissions officers may consider the change, but it shouldnt be extreme enough to defer.
Do 1st quarter grades even get sent to schools? Do they show up on the transcript sent by your high school?
