<p>Hey friends!! Yeah, so we all have to send our mid-year grades despite our ED acceptance.. let's use this thread to share our mid-year grades b/c I'm so worried about mine and just want to hear about how others feel. </p>

<p>So my mid-year grades are:</p>

<p>Physics Regular: A+
AP Microecon: A
IBH2 French: A-
AP Literature: A-
IBS History: B+
AP Calculus: B+</p>

<p>I have two B's!!! :( :( Would this have an effect on my acceptance?? </p>

<p>The previous first quarter grades I sent were all A and A-s, I'm scared they might revoke my acceptance b/c my grades dropped to B+ in TWO classes!!!! :( :(</p>

2

<p>seriously, they won't mind. don't worry about it, you're in! just stay away from getting C's or lower.</p>

3

<p>My grades dropped as well.
They know we are taking harder courses.</p>

4

<p>Haha, are you kidding? You have nothing to worry about.
My Midyear report said I had a D in 3 subjects due to an error, but I didn't bother correcting it. In the end, I had 2 Bs.</p>

<p>I slacked off to no end and I had more absences in school than I was allowed. But Penn doesn't care much.</p>

5

<p>AP CALC BC - C!!!!!! 2nd quarter. A first quarter. hahaha. i slacked.
i win. guess i won't be joining you guys next year :(
just kidding.</p>

6

<p>AP Bio - Q1: A-; Q2: B (LOL, I'm officially the student most hated by the teacher)
AP Stat - Q1: A; Q2: B+
AP Lit - Q1: A-; Q2: B+
AP Econ - Q1: B+; Q2: A- (it will probably end lower)
AP Comp Sci AB - Q1: A; Q2: (No grades so far)
AP Art History - Q1: A; Q2: B</p>

<p>I WIN FOR MOST EPIC SLACKAGE...</p>

<p>Haha... I have a B- in AP Econ because I was absent during a few big assignments... but I think it's funny that my teacher probably thinks I'm economically inept and here I am headed to Wharton. Maybe I should tell him? ... or maybe I should just make up my assignments and fix my grade... haha.</p>

8

<p>Wharton does not = econ...you're in for a big surprise if that's what you're expecting lol. Don't say anything to your teacher b/c he'll probably get angry at you for not realizing this LOL.</p>

9

<p>I'm freaking out about this. Are B's REALLY not a problem??</p>

10

<p>when are mid-year grades due?</p>

11

<p>I hope people with B's get their acceptances rescinded so these stupid threads (seriously, I've seen 20+ threads when people are scared of B's) go away. That'll stop people from getting B's =>!</p>

12

<p>When are they due?</p>

<p>BTW: </p>

<p>College Lit: 95
Broadcasting III: 96
Economics: 92
Communication Tech: 94
STRAIGHT A's! </p>

<p>2 APs this semester in addition to Broadcasting IV and College Lit
Too bad with my midyear grades my total cumulative GPA is a 3.49...</p>

13

<p>I know Wharton isn't econ but the guy talks about Wharton all the time </p>

<p>So how about just one C and all B's is that okay? lol</p>

14

<p>good ?
when r they due?
i dont find out my 2nd semester grades until either next week or the following week</p>

15

<p>hey guys! mid-year grades are due around mid-jan or at the latest, even early feb.</p>

16

<p>yea mine aren't even released until early feb (midterms at end of January) so they will have to deal with that</p>

17

<p>For the Mid-Year Report, do we just send the Common App midyear report sheet (which, for some reason, is identical to the Counselor Rec form..Why is this?) Or do they also need a transcript with our grades thus far?</p>

18

<p>French 4 is killlllling meeeeee!!!! haha I'm pretty sure they want the whole shabang (Form and transcript) I could be wrong....</p>

19

<p>I was just going to send in my transcript with my 1st semester(mid-year) grades. I don't even recall seeing the Common Ap Mid-Year form??? Don't you think a transcript will be sufficient?</p>

<p>Common App Mid-Year Report form is [url=<a href="https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/docs/downloadforms/MidYear_Report.pdf%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/docs/downloadforms/MidYear_Report.pdf]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p>

<p>Anyone know if Penn has a specific deadline for it? :S</p>
