Question about Early Action

For the early action people, will Virginia Tech get your first-semester senior year grades? I thought the SRAR was the only thing they considered, but my counselor seems to think they are going to want my first-semester transcript. Any help on this thanks.

Yeah, there will be a mid-year transcript.

I emailed them, asking this exact question, and they told me that first semester senior year grades are not considered in the admission process. They just see your final grades.

Thank You
