Applying to College

<p>The title is self explanatory. My GPA has been a solid 4.0 UW throughout high school. I've been slacking off my senior year and it will show on my mid year (Probably 2 B's out of my 6 classes).</p>

<p>If my ED doesn't accept me, I don't really want to be stuck at the local public college with no alternative.</p>

<p>How important are mid year reports for regular decision applicants?</p>

<p>Especially the higher level schools like Dartmouth, Columbia, Northwestern, ect.</p>

<p>Pretty darn important. You do not want to show downward trends.</p>

<p>Pretty important. The mid-year is the real crunch time for seniors. You have to show you're ready to keep up under the pressure. ESPECIALLY at the higher level schools like Columbia, Dartmouth, Northwestern...</p>
