<p>I just found out from my counselor that my first-quarter grades from this year may not have been sent along with my ED app, and decisions arrive the 8th... I checked in Friday morning to see if they had been sent, but he said that unless I had asked to have them sent out with my transcript, they weren't. I don't remember if I asked or not! </p>
<p>If I have my first-quarter grades faxed to the admin office on Monday morning, will it have any possible bearing on my admission, or will they ignore it? I'm sort of a borderline candidate, my grades dipped junior year as a result of a transfer into a highly-competitive, nationally ranked public from a small private school for 'gifted' children. There's a strong upwards trend after first semester, but a 'straight-A' level isn't really reflected until my first-quarter grades from this year. Dartmouth is my dream dream dream school, so this is big ... thoughts?</p>
