<p>Hey all, I'm applying to Penn for Fall 07' as a transfer. They require a mid-term report to be sent in which shows current grades of this semester thus far. How long do I wait to complete this form? As the semester just started I do not yet have any grades. The deadline to apply is March 15th, so do I wait until very close to that deadline to complete this form? I will be sending in the application within the next week or so and I guess I'm wondering if it is wise to wait that long to complete this form.</p>
<p>I would send it in at the same time as the rest of your app so they can hurry and make their decision. Most of my classes have 4 main tests, so I plan on sending a midterm report after the 2nd test grade, which should be very close to most college deadlines.</p>
<p>So are you waiting until that date to send the application in also?</p>
<p>Unless the school notifies on a rolling basis (first come, first served), yes. I see no reason in submitting it beforehand to schools that won't start reviewing any apps until the deadline.</p>
<p>Ok, that makes sense. So is that a vaild statement for every college that specifies a deadline? That they will not review any applications until after that date?</p>
<p>it is for almost all of them that i'm applying to and most that i've seen.</p>
<p>If they don't specify that their admissions are rolling, you can be pretty sure that they will not review apps/make decisions until their deadline.</p>
<p>It's fine to wait and send you whole app at the time you send your mid-term report. It's also fine to submit most of your app now and send the mid-term report when you are ready. My S did it that way and was successful in all the places wanting a mid-term report.</p>
