Got an email saying I need to send midyear transcript.

So I just recently got an email saying that they’ve completed my application review and that they will need to get my midyear transcripts in order to submit a final decision. Does this pretty much mean I got deferred since the ea admissions results come out on the 15th, and I won’t have my midyear transcript until January.
Thanks!

I’m not certain, but it does seem like you’re getting deferred. Best advice, contact your admission’s rep.

Do you have a low gap? If so they maybe looking for an upward trend in senior year.

Oops. I meant do you have a low high school gpa? If your gpa and test scores are on the low side then showing improvement in mid year grades would reflect that you are able to handle college level work. If you applied early action and have not gotten an acceptance then they are holding off making a decision till they see your mid year transcript.

Yeah it’s probably because I have a low gpa. It’s right around a 3.0 but my sat is a 1320. I am on an upward trend, and I’m hopeful since at this point I don’t think I’ll be outright rejected

Which program did you apply for?
Your best chance for admission is usually applying early action because it is a lot more competitive in Regular Decision which has a lot more applicants. Look into other schools that more match with your stats. Another option is going to community college and then transferring over to GMU.
