<p>Ok, so how many of these schools ask for a midyear report?</p>

-UChicago
-Northwestern
-UVA
-Johns Hopkins
-Duke
-Cornell</p>
<p>I'm taking a full IB schedule and IB doesn't give out semester grades. So my counselor just sends a copy of my report card and a letter stating that that these grades are not final and that final grades will have to wait until the end of the year. My school uses a semster schedule and each semester is split into 2 terms; my grades in the 2nd term were worse than the first, 3 of my grades were worse, though one of them was better. I'm taking 6 classes, 5 IBs and one AP (Physics C, which averages to an A for the semester).</p>
<p>Here's the thing in my county though: an A for one term and B in the 2nd term averages to an A for the semester, so you can have all As for the 1st term but all Bs in the second; that would average to an A for the semester. But for non-IB classes, the individual term grades are not seen. So will the admissions office take this into account?</p>
<p>I mean, if IB classes are averaged, then I would have 5 As and 1 B. But I really hope none of those schools do ask, because once they see my report card, I
m basically ****ed...and it's unfair too, because those people taking non-IB courses will get away with it because the admissions office won't see their individual term grades.</p>
