Hi. So I had maintained an all A’s up to the first marking period, but being an arrogant slack off and believing that I will get accepted by ED I have let go of myself in terms of grades after first quarter ended. HOWEVER it turns out that I wasn’t good enough for Tufts and now my senior grades are being counted in for the regular decisions. So here is my question: are the two quarter grades from senior year being evaluated separately or are they being averaged to form a single semester grade? I was wondering because the latter will be less damaging for me since my first quarter grades are fairly high and they might cover up for all the D’s and C’s I currently have this quarter. I will be waking up and bring those pitiable grades up slightly, but I doubt that those will go up by more than a letter grade by the end of the second quarter. I feel so much regrets at this point and I have so many extra works in my hand…I wish I had wrote at least a third of all the supplement essays instead of waiting until the ED result came out. I hope that nobody else made the same mistake as I did.
Ask your GC how that information appears on your transcript (as two quarters or a semester).
