<p>if my school's halfway point is at the beginning of february, does that mean that colleges will not even look at my application before they receive the report? i don't understand the point of making the application due in january when most schools are halfway done with the year around february.</p>
<p>If they are on the fence about your application, they probably won't make a decision about your application until they receive the midyear report. The can (and will) contact your GC if they do not have it and will accept a fax from him/her.</p>
