<p>I was thinking about applying ED to a college, but I my transcript could use an extra semester of grades to help my app. My problem is that my school's semester doesn't doesn't' end until after Jan 1st (well it ends before then but grades are published until after Jan 1st). I was thinking about applying RD and using the Midyear Report to show this extra semester, however I'm nervous that my app is going to be thrown out before it is even time to submit my midyear report.</p>
<p>Same exact problem here. I’m going to keep an eye on this and if I find something out elsewhere I’ll let you know!</p>
<p>Bump! </p>

<p>If the college has a Jan 1 RD app deadline and requires a mid-year report, you send that report after you apply and after grades come out and it is used and is important to the admission decision. Those decisions are made after the report arrives.</p>
<p>However, you need to check each particular college because many, particularly many public universities but not your high ranked private universities, with a Jan 1 app deadline neither require nor want a mid-year report and make decisions based on grades through junior year.</p>
