<p>Right now my mid terms exams are going on. I bombed in the last two tests. I think I'll get very less marks. Is it okay to NOT send this mid-term's report and only send 9th, 10th and 11th marks?</p>
<p>Also, the results may come out later than the deadline (later than 1 Nov)</p>
<p>Are you in a US high school?
If you’re in an international high school, it depends on the type/external examination board, so give us that indication.
Which schools are you applying to (some state schools in particular don’t care about your 12th grade results as long as you have rigor and no D’s and F’s, other schools will care very much.)</p>
<p>@MYOS1634 I am in India, state board (HSC I.e. Maharashtra board). I am applying to Stanford REA</p>
<p>I said in the original post that my results will come late. But I can try to get it earlier by requesting in the school office. The question is that whether I should send the midterms or not if Im sure that the scores will be quite less than the previous exams. </p>
<p>Ultimately you need to send them. But if you think they aren’t good, you certainly should not send them early! Has your school already sent your transcript in without them? </p>
<p>@intparent As I said, the exams are still going on. It is yet to be corrected and made into a transcript. My counselor cannot send it before it is made.</p>
<p>My classmate requested to get his papers corrected early and get the mark sheet made early so that he can send it to college before the deadline. I can do the same. But unlike him, my marks may not be better than the last exam and may very well be worse. My maths marks may be about 8-10 marks less than those earned in the last exam.</p>
<p>Is there a strict requirement that your commonapp won’t send if you do not submit the midterms?</p>
<p>Edit: Sorry, I misread your question. No, my school didn’t send any transcript yet. </p>
<p>What happens at US schools is the transcript is sent with whatever coursework is officially on it at the time. At many US high schools, grades are placed on the transcript only twice year (end of first semester, usually available early January) and at the end of the school year. So students in the US who apply EA often only have their coursework through 11th grade on their transcript, and then the application asks what classes they are taking senior year so the college has some idea what the rigor is of the senior year schedule.</p>
<p>The colleges then request that mid-term grades be sent when they are ready (again, January for many US schools), and final grade reports at the end of the school year. But EA decisions are often made before those midterm grades get there.</p>
<p>It sounds like it would be to your advantage if your transcript was reported in this same way, but don’t know if that can be done/is common for your schools.</p>
<p>@intparent my school makes an official mark sheet only once a year. Basically, our 12th is a state boards exam. Our midterms are internal, school-only, extra-difficult exams that are conducted to prepare us for the finals. We don’t get marksheets for this. They print out a page with all the school’s student’s marks in it.
But many students who want to go abroad are getting their marksheets made specifically for them.</p>
<p>How common is it for a US university to revoke an admission after they receive the 12th marks? </p>
<p>I believe my marks may stay the same or go down by 1-2% in the midterms. In finals, I predict it will go up.</p>
<p>Rarely. If you are dropping from the equivalent of As to Ds or Fs, or maybe low Cs in more than one class, it could happen. Getting some Bs if you have had mostly As before will not.</p>
<p>There is rarely a way to game the system, even for internationals, by claiming something wasn’t available (or not expediting it) when the school knows it could have been available. I am quite sure Stanford knows how schools in India work and they expect to see certain things - applying REA does not exempt you from that. If Stanford doesn’t get the information they require in time to make a decision on their terms, they are not going to accept you - at best they’ll defer you until they get a chance to see the marks, at worst they’ll just reject you because they got an incomplete application, but they might have done that anyway because what they do see so far doesn’t make you a candidate even if the the missing marks came in amazing.</p>
<p>In short, there is no way to hide from any school what they want to see and you don’t want to show them. They have all the power in this situation and unless you give them what they want, they aren’t going to give you a pass.</p>
<p>You’ll need HSC predicted results and, if available, 9-11th grade results. If your 1st semester results (sent in February) are bad (Ds, F’s), you can be rescinded, ie., lose your admission.</p>
