I am strongly considering applying ED to Duke class of 2023. Almost 99% chance I will. However, I was wondering if the admissions officers will see my first trimester grades of senior year. On Dukes application deadlines page, they say that first quarter grades are due November 12th, or when first available… My school goes on a trimester system, and the first trimester ends about a week and a half after November 12th, give or take a few days. Will admissions see those grades and take those into account? Especially if they are strong grades? Predicting all A’s in 4 AP’S.
If your grades are not available by the time they need them, they may request mid-trimester or the current grades at a specific point in time.
Not for Duke, but my S applied ED to another school, and they requested his in-progress grades to gauge how he was doing.
If your trimester is only a week and a half later, they may be fine waiting for them and not need anything before. Just be sure you or your guidance counselor communicates your school’s grading time schedule.
