<p>How good should mid-year reports be if...</p>

<p>a. you are deferred ED?</p>

<p>b. you are applying RD?</p>

<p>c. you are already accepted ED?</p>

2

<p>a. Amazing
b. Still really good
c. Not terrible</p>

3

<p>if you're accepted ED you just have to maintain B's or higher basically, one or two C's is okay, but don't let them slip below that</p>

4

<p>A. If you were Deferred, you need to have a strong upward trend. </p>

<p>B. If you're already a strong candidate and are applying RD, a sideways trend in GPA, as long as you're taking hard classes should be fine. If you need a boost in admissions, you should have an upward trend. </p>

<p>C. If you have already been accepted, as long as your GPA doesn't fall from a 4.0 to a 2.0, you should be fine.</p>

<p>what if you are taking much harder classes this year? i was deferred but my grades went down a little bit so does that mean i'm totally f***ed? ughh this sucks i really want to get in!! i submitted new sat2 scores though so i'm hoping that will compensate for the grades...sort of lol</p>

6

<p>are these Cs I can't have too many of final grades or quarter grades?</p>

7

<p>aaaa12// my mid-year report sux as well... i have good sat ii scores though</p>

8

<p>last year i had all honors classes and this year all APs. my grades remain virtually the same - A's in history/gov, english, etc. B+/A- in calc/bio/physics. does staying stable when the difficulty of the class increases amount to an upward trend?</p>

9

<p>Yeah I think that would qualify as a strong trend.</p>

10

<p>My mid year grades were awful and I was deferred the prob was I had mono the entire semester which my GC wrote about, you think they will understand?</p>

11

<p>No, probably not.</p>

<p>However, there are other factors for admission besides the midyear report.</p>

12

<p>It really just depends what "awful" is for you. But no, they won't understand.</p>

13

<p>I think if your GC wrote you were sick w/mono then they're going to automatically reject you/rescind your acceptance because people who are smart enough to go to Cornell aren't the types who would kiss creepers carrying MONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Hah...but for reals, if you were genuinely sick the whole time and you had good grades every other yr I think they'd understand.</p>

<p>wow another friend of mine had mono whole first semester!!!</p>
