<p>Do you guys know if the midyear reports will include our 1st, 2nd, and midterm grades or just an overall average? Or does it only include 2nd marking period grades?</p>
<p>I don't know how it works at your school but my school uses a semester system. Each teacher uses their own guidelines from the three quarters (funny how it's called quarters, right?) and factors in the final (suppose that's their justification for the "quarter system" designation) and produces a semester grade. This is what the counselors and my school sends, my semester grade. They'll add it to my transcript and send in the transcript with my seventh semester grades.</p>
<p>At my son's school, only final semester grades are sent. Quarter grades do not show on a student's transcript.</p>
<p>At my school, only the first semester of senior year grade is shown - i.e. no quarters, midterms, etc. are reported to the adcom. For 9-11, only the final year grade is shown.</p>
<p>ohh okay thanks guys! Actually, I just found out from my counselor yesterday that we send quarter grades and midterm grades, which kind of blows because a couple of my midterm grades aren't so pretty...
My quarter grades are decent, but would Yale (and other colleges) not look kindly on two bad midterm grades? Averaged out, my grade is still a B+ which isn't ideal, but not terrible either. (and along with the fact that both are difficult AP courses)</p>
