<p>Hypothetically, if I were to apply to a school EA and my application was deferred and was to be re-evaluated in the RD pool, would said school look at the grades that I sent them, or would they also be able to see the grades I had achieved after I submitted the application, such as my mid-year senior grades? If this doesn't make any sense just let me know I'll try to clear it up haha. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>A college will definitely consider your mid-year grades if they defer you. Why would you ever imagine otherwise? </p>
<p>Haha sorry I’m the first one leaving for college so all of this stuff is new to me and my family</p>
<p>Put it this way: if they defer you from EA, that means that they were unable to determine what action to take on your application with the information available to them at the time - and the information available is all they would usually need, for most people, to make such a decision. So ANY additional relevant information should make their decision a little easier, should tend to influence them in one direction or another. Presumably, if they couldn’t make a decision, you’d go try to make your application for attractive for them to consider again.</p>
<p>But beyond that, grades are REQUIRED information. They need to know all your grades, up to date. Whenever they look at your application - even if it’s a second look after being deferred from EA to RD - they still require your grades in every HS and college class you have taken. You are not allowed to conceal or withhold available grades from them.</p>
<p>Hypothetically, if you have a weak GPA overall and need good fall semester grades senior year to compensate, you should wait until RD to apply, and if you have a strong GPA after junior year, you should pounce on your EA opportunities.</p>
<p>From what I have seen, those kids who are deferred from EA, ED or rolled back in rolling admission are requested to send their mid year grades. The ones who get a pass from the mid year transcripts are those who are ACCEPTED through those admissions. </p>
