hey guys,
I just talked to my counselor, and she told me she doesn’t submit a midyear report. Instead, I have to order my own transcripts through parchment. Is this common? Also, how do a midyear report and transcript differ? Some colleges have a midyear report as required, and then separately say they want a transcript of my first term.
Thanks
Counselors must submit midyear reports if you applied to colleges via the Common App. You might only need to report your final grades/transcript if that’s what the college(s) you applied to and/or are going to want. Your transcripts are different from your midyear report. A transcript is a record of your work throughout high school- it will show the courses you have taken and the final grades you’ve received in all of your classes. Along with that, your GPA (which can be your cumulative GPA and your GPA you’ve received after every year of high school) and class rank (if your school does this) will be shown. A midyear report is a record that shows your grades from your 1st semester of your senior year. Mid year reports show an updated GPA, class rank, and transcript.
