@XSiege999 See Idk how strict your school is but based on what you told about the papers I guess it’s pretty chill, so yeah I recommend you to get your predictive and the rec sorted now, but you can also urge your teachers to check your paper as your counsellor needs to submit the Mid year report for RD round.
@SuperBatBoi01 Thanks! So the mid-year report has to be submitted? Can’t we just submit the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th predicted marks (on the basis of 11th)? Is there something on the Common App that says so?
yes, mid-year report has to be submitted as there are different sections for predictive and mid-year grades
Anybody receive their results yet?

Please chance me.
@Momhopeful Yup. Pomona ED
@Siddu2912 can you add me on the facebook group,
my account name is steven griezmann and the one with no profile pic.
@jhunt23 So did you get accepted/rejected/deferred to Stanford?
@enamel He got accepted I think. See the Stanford Thread.
Anyone for University of Michigan?
Guys did anyone of you get into UIUC? if yes, then we have a discord server for all the admitted student reach out to me if you wanna join ( it is irrespective of major )
@SuperBatBoi01 Yeah. Got accepted!
@SuperBatBoi01 I got in for CS
@texarishere Accepted LSA
What other colleges did you get into and applied to??
I was deferred by Yale to the RD round. Nothing else of substance has happened so far, I will know more by March. It’s also important to note that I am a US citizen, but was mostly raised and completely schooled in India, so I’m not technically an ‘Indian’ applicant although I will be compared to Indians.
@texarishere - University of Michigan got in and Purdue got in …defer for UIUC as of now
@srians Same here… Got in University of Michigan and Purdue but got deferred from UIUC. Let’s get in touch and chat. What’s day? Any social media?
Does getting an interview from Stanford mean anything?
