<p>Hi, does anyone know if I need to send in official semester (mid-year) transcripts as a freshman applicant? There isn't any specific information on the admissions website and so I'm assuming I do but I wanted to make sure.</p>
<p>No. Just your final transcript if accepted and you’ve confirmed that you’re attending.</p>
<p>Do they put much weight on senior year grades? I was already accepted, but my grades have slightly dipped this year, and they weren’t too good to begin with. It was mainly my ACT that got me in.</p>
<p>UIUC does not use senior grades to determine freshman admission and you should not send them for that purpose. However, it requires a complete transcript in June, after you finish high school, and if senior year grades are bad it can withdraw your admission.</p>
