<p>do i need to send them an official transcript in the postal mail too???</p>
<p>I just got a letter in the mail asking me to submit my mid year grades. I guess it's a good sign because it means I have a shot. These are my grades, any thoughts?</p>
<p>AP US Gov't-B+
AP Econ Macro-B
Biology-A
AP Calc AB-B</p>
<p>I'd mail them in just in case, it's more legit when you have a hard copy of your midyear grades to verify.</p>
<p>I got a request like two weeks ago... so I wonder...
in a different thread people were saying that three people will look at our application and I wonder if a mid year request means we made it passed one and the second doubted or if we made it passed two and we just need a little push so they want mid years??</p>
<p>what do you guys think??</p>
<p>Yeah an admissions officer told me that all three people look at ur app...</p>
<p>well if u got a request, u obviously passed 1 admission officer who thought u were borderline applicant. If you got a midyear request, your admission probably weighs on your midyear grades. Midyear grades are supposed to confirm any incline/decline trends. </p>
<p>I think u guys are thinking too hard about it, ur mid year grades are not bad! Just send them in and see what happens. They asked for it so I guess you kinda have to.</p>
<p>I had to send in mine...</p>
<p>AP Euro - A
AP Stats - B
AP English- B
Honors Physics - A
Spanish 3 - A
Chamber Orchestra - A
International Business - A</p>
<p>So I had a 3.97 unweighted GPA(one stupid B in freshman earth science), but I didn't take the most demanding curriculum. I got a request for a midyear report and I ended up getting all A's and a B(in a college spanish class) first semester. Does that appear as a drop? I wouldn't worry so much, but it's just that the grades on my midyear report are the first ones that are weighted and I'm worried that it will make it look like I can't handle more difficult classes.</p>
<p>Wow, this boarderline thing scares the heck out of me, cause like everyone else, I wanna get in at USC. </p>
<p>Stats
My school dosn't follow the 4.0 scale, but the 100 scale. And they really don't weight that much, 1.03 for honors and 1.06 for AP.
Avg-94.7 (Fresh-96.5, Soph-92.5, Junior- 93.5)
SAT: 710 CR 660 WR 740 M
SATII: 660 US 650 World 720 MathI
ACT: 30
AP US: 4
Very Good Recs and Essays
The one thing that reallllly hurts me is i'm not in the top10%, I'm like in the 30's our of 220. But I looked under collegeboard.com and it said USC dosn't use class rank that strongly, but idk.</p>
<p>Mid Year (my school goes by quarters, so the numbers go 1st qtr, 2nd qtr, midterm test grade)
