<p>According to my online Common App tracker, my guidance counselor has yet to submit my Mid-Year Report. Is it a serious problem if it is late? I've mentioned it to her before. I know it was due on February 10th for Georgetown. How big of a problem is it if it is late? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>It’s usually not a big problem, as colleges know it’s not your fault and out of your control. However, most colleges do have a deadline of some sort for it.</p>
<p>When you say your guidance counselor has not yet sent it, do you mean you made a spefic request that it be sent? Too often students assume a counselor will send it automatically to colleges to which they have applied and at many high schools that is not true; you must make a specifc request for the mid-year report to be sent.</p>
<p>In any event, if it has not yet been sent then you should be visiting that counselor to remind him or her. It can still arrive beyond a college’s stated date but everyday you are coming closer to the point where it may not get there in time to be considered. For example if any of those colleges that need it issue admission decisions in early March then you are at critical mass time and you need top get it sent immediately. If they send out decisions in late March/early April you still have some time.</p>
<p>I reminded her two weeks ago that it needed to be sent. It still has yet to be sent. I will remind her again tomorrow. Thanks</p>
<p>Do you know that it literally has not been sent? Or do you know that it doesn’t show up online as received?</p>
<p>If it’s the former, you have a right to be annoyed. It might even be time to involve your parents and/or somebody a little higher up the food chain at school. If it’s the latter, I still think you should ask, but do so much more gently. Many colleges and universities can take a long time, even up to two weeks, to update applicants’ records at their online portals.</p>
<p>The CommonApp is generally updates pretty well, so I think my counselor hasn’t done it yet.</p>
