<p>Does Maryland consider first semester transcripts for priority deadline applications? I couldn't find this addressed anywhere on their website.</p>
<p>Also a follow up question: Is there any way to report AP scores on the application short of sending an official score report? I have 8 5s and a 4 at the moment so I believe it would be very beneficial for my application.</p>
<p>I don’t believe first semester grades (but they will see what classes you are enrolled in) are part of the official transcript that are initially submitted since they are typically not final grades (at least that’s the case at my kids’ high school) but I would check with your own high school’s guidance department to be certain. If you are admitted, final grades/transcript are then submitted again automatically by your high school at the end of the year only to the school you have selected to attend.</p>
<p>As for reporting AP scores, in addition to sending official score reports, you can maybe add a section to note that on your activities resume if you want…?</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
