Hi! I’m an international student and I’m kind of in the middle of a crisis haha. My counselor (he’s not familiar with CommonApp at all) submitted my mid-year report as the final report. It shows as “submitted” in my CommonApp and the universities I applied Early to already downloaded that report. What should I do? Should I or him send an email explaining the situation? Is there any way he could delete that final report and submit it as a mid-year report instead?
He likely won’t be able to delete the report from the Common App, but the good news is that you only need to submit a final report for the school you decide to attend. Mid-Year reports are not due until February, so I’m assuming your school is not on the American academic calendar (August/September to June/July.) Just let the schools you applied to know that your counselor mistakenly submitted your mid-year report as your final report, and they’ll probably say it’s fine or ask you to ask your counselor to submit the mid-year report as well. Make sure that every school you applied to EA did accept the “final report” item in the Common App, as idk if all do.
Thank you! This was really reassuring, I was about to panic haha. Do you know if he can still submit a mid-year report even after submitting the final report?
The Common App will probably let him do so, but idk since I’m not a recommender lol.
Of course, we have no idea what college(s) or if it matters for those.
It should be obvious these are mid grades. It’s not a showstopper mistake. Why not just an email noting those are the requested midterm grades? Short and to the point.
It’s all in your file.
