Midyear Reports: How much of a factor?

Applying to College
1

<p>How much, if at all, do midyear reports play in the admissions process for selective colleges? Could a stellar midyear report improve chances? Are midyear reports even looked at, or are they just to prevent senioritis?</p>

<p>Someone answer.</p>

<p>Midyear reports are included in the review!</p>

<p>^^yes, but how much of a factor is the question.</p>

<p>If your drop it is not a good sign!</p>

<p>If you apply to a top 25/50 school for regular decision…mid-year grade reports play a significant role I was told…</p>

<p>Because, they don’t really make a decision until you send those in really…they have until April/May or whenever. Now if you were accepted EA/ED…then they matter less, but if you get a C or something, you can definitely get your acceptance revoked. </p>

<p>So keep those grades up. And yes, senior year in my opinion is more difficult than junior year, but keep your head up, do your homework, and you will be fine!</p>

<p>I would like to know this too; I’m about to get a B/B- in AP English this marking period whereas I’ve had mostly A’s with a few A-'s throughout high school. Will it hurt a lot? I’ll have A’s in everything else right now.</p>

<p>At top colleges, the are generally only used to ensure those the plan to accept didn’t slip up.</p>

<p>What’s slip up?</p>

<p>Worse than Bs?</p>

<p>What if I’m taking 5 ap classes and one honors class senior year and i get 2 b+'s? would that really affect me when im applying to dartmouth, brown, uchicago, upenn, etc?</p>
