<p>Do the Jan.1 deadline schools (privates) use mid-term grades for admissions purposes, or just recension purposes?</p>
<p>I’m almost positive the midyear report is used for admissions purpose if you are applying RD. However, if you applied ED/EA, you would already find out your acceptance by then (for most schools…) so they just want to make sure you aren’t failing every class, in which case they would revoke your acceptance.</p>
<p>Yes, colleges generally require mid-year grades for RD admissions. To clarify, and to see what schools specifically request this, go to common app, look at the specific college, and click on “view college details”. it will tell you “School Forms Required”.</p>
