<p>I agree with the first stance. That’s my worry precisely. </p>
<p>@absentions, Have you emailed Wellesley about your concern? Any reply?</p>
<p>Yes and they assured me that medical schools won’t need first semester grades, and that no grades will be released. This is how MIT and Swarthmore operates, afterall. However, the shadow grades will be the student’s to use. I’m not sure whether it’d be possible to send those to medical schools though.</p>
<p>As in, will the medical schools accept grades that aren’t on the official transcript? </p>
