Midyear Grades

<p>For those of us applying to Class of 2010. </p>

<p>Does NYU require midyear grade reports/midyear transcript? </p>

<p>Im curious b/c i really dont want them to see my physics grades before they make the decision. only after lol.</p>

<p>haha. weeelll i'm quite sure they will see them.</p>

<p>yes if u applied RD, but no if you applied ED.</p>

<p>wut do u have in physics?</p>

<p>jhpark, why are you answering questions like this? NYU does not require midyear reports for anyone, E.D. or R.D.</p>

<p>Wait a minute - so you mean NYU sees NO grades after junior year, regardless of whether or not you apply ED or RD? Is this true of most schools? If so, no wonder so many people pack their senior year schedule with APs, since it doesn't matter how well you do.</p>

<p>catherine, if you apply R.D. and have one marking period of grades available, then those are probably included on the transcript which your guidance counsellor submits to NYU. Midyear reports for most schools come out after the deadline for R.D. so NYU does not require them. They base their decision on the marks available at the time of your app. In June, EVERYone, both E.D. and R.D. accepted students are required to have their school send a final transcript for the year. Your acceptance is contingent on your successful completion of the courses in progress at the time of your app. In other words, you have to finish those courses with the same kind of marks you submitted when you applied. In other words, senioritis = rescinding of offer. So yes, it very much DOES matter how you do in senior year.</p>

<p>Do they get your first quarter grades?I somehow sincerely doubt that a school would rescind an offer at the end of the year if those As turned into Bs - have you ever heard of that happening (I don't mean you suddenly start getting Cs and Ds)?</p>

<p>It would depend what is available to your guidance counsellor at the time he sends the transcript. Chances are first quarter marks would be. No, your offer won't likely be rescinded if you go from As to Bs. That isn't what I said. A mix of As and Bs are similar marks, that wouldn't be a problem. If you had straight As, though, and went to straight Cs, that could definitely be a problem. In addition to possibly rescinding the offer, they also have the option of putting you on academic probation for your freshman year, and you don't want that.</p>

<p>what exactly is academic probation?</p>

<p>Yea, I think it would from school to school. Our semester ends too late for NYU to get the transcripts with our first semester grades. If only the semester ended in December. :-/ My grades have been really good this semester too.</p>
