So I’ve completed my final IB exams for grade 12 in Nov '14. My school has sent reports of my predicted grades and all previous grades through Naviance. On Harvard’s portal it says that my midyear report is not submitted. Should I inform the admissions officer that it’s been submitted under the school report, or should I leave it? Would Harvard deem my application as incomplete?
Thanks!
Harvard’s portal is not updated in real time; it’s manually updated. So, a person in the Admissions Office needs to download your mid-year report, print out a copy for your paper file, add a pdf of it to your electronic file, and then update the portal. With 30,000 applications that takes time – weeks in fact. If the portal has not been updated by the 3rd week of January, then I would notify Admissions to find out what happened. At the moment though, I would give them time to sort it all out.
I have the same issue. My mid year and final report are both included within my school report (I’m a gap year international student). I think a late January email wouldn’t hurt.
