<p>I just got my letter of acceptance and it says that a final transcript is required to show completion of HS. Does Stony also require a mid-year grade report?</p>
<p>I am fine with that, I just want to know since it doesn't say it anywhere on the letter.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>If you've already been admitted, then NO, we do NOT need a mid-year report, just your final transcript with your date of graduation.</p>
<p>However -- if you're reading this post and you have NOT been admitted yet -- then yes, you might as well ask for a mid-year report to be sent to us once grades are posted after mid-terms.</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>interesting...
that means I don't have to work hard in high school anymore and I can just fail all my classes since I have all the credit for graduation...
just saying...not like I would do such a thing...</p>
<p>Still need to get good scores on AP classes, if you want the credits, and good grades never hurt when looking for scholarships.</p>
<p>Sometimes schools will need mid-year grades to see if you are accepted/declined, because you are on the border of it. No, you have to have good grades until the end, Colleges can still decline you if you mess up badly.</p>
<p>And yes, we do reserve the right to rescind your admission if you bomb your senior year.</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>what is . . ."bomb"??
Failing? Or just dropping
Because I am dropping but not failing.</p>
<p>also does SBU look at mid year grades? What Chris said sounds a little like they will look at applicants mid-year grades on there own. Or do we have to send them ourselves?</p>
<p>sorry I just dont want to mess anything up. I got accepted and I dont want to miss anything that might get my acceptance changed.</p>
<p>so can someone answer these questions for me:</p>
<p>1) Does SBU require me to send my mid-year senior transcript if I am already accepted.</p>
<p>2) Should students only send mid-year grade reports if they have not already been accepted, and would like to give SBU a better idea of why they should be accepted if they have made progress in their senior year.</p>
<p>3) I have to go to my guidance counselor at the end of the year and send the final transcript to SBU, right? or do I bring it to the orientation, or when I meet with my advisor.</p>
<p>and finally about the "bombing" question. Is bombing failing, or is it just doing worse then usual?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>1) No.
2) Yes.
3) Either.</p>
<p>I'll say this about senior year. Yes, once you're admitted, you can relax a bit, because your senior grades are not as important. But please don't just let go completely. If you turn your brain off now -- or even in April or May -- then it's hard to get it going again come September. Run hard through the finish line and be conscientious about your studies.</p>

<p>Quick question to chris.
Do mid year reports include mid-terms?
Please let me know.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>From his previous post it says “once grades are posted after mid-terms” so mid-year report should include midterm grades</p>
<p>Chanoob - Yes, they should.</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>chris, i am already admitted to sbu, but my school sends out mid term reports anyway but…</p>
<p>there was a grade mistake on my report which i am in the process of getting fixed. how should i go about this in terms of either sending my new report in or informing stony brook that it should not be reviewed as of right now?</p>
<p>No, don’t worry about it. Once you’ve been offered admission, we probably won’t have any reason to look at your file again until we receive your final transcript over the summer.</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>little off topic but:</p>
<p>are the final transcripts always the ones that are used for admission statistics? For example, the average GPA of the engineering college etc.</p>
<p>Typically, yes.</p>
