<p>okay, im trying to get my grades up as high as possible before I apply. Im applying to RD and am taking as many weighted classes as i can. My question is... how long should I wait before sending in my transcript. I want to get my GPA as high as possible... I was thinking at the end of the first semester.. is that too late?</p>
<p>If you can, ask your school to send one when you apply and then have them send another when your grades come out. That way, ND will have your grades (so you will be covered) but the new grades should come before they make their decision, so they will use the updated transcript. Just become friends with the person in charge of transcripts, I did that and it worked wonders.</p>
