<p>Hi, midyear reports are typically sent by the end of january, but my school doesn't have these marks available till mid february. SHould i call the colleges I'm applying to to explain this situation?</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
<p>Yeah check their deadlines and if it doesn't match then call them and explain.
It'll be fine as long as they get it as soon as possible.</p>
<p>(This happened to me with Wellesley because apparently they wanted my 1st semester grades by January 1)</p>
<p>Well not necessarily first semester, they wanted "senior year grades" by Jan 1 if you were applying EE</p>
<p>can i piggyback ride on this thread? </p>
<p>when i send in my mid-year reports, do i need to send in an updated transcript????</p>
<p>The most important part of the mid-year report is the official high school transcript. And you do not send in the report; your GC does.</p>
<p>The term "mid-year report" can be misleading. What a college wants and when they want it can vary from school to school and often a school's website is not the model of clarity. In addition, the marking period cut off dates and date of posting grades at your high school can impact on what should be sent.</p>
<p>For example, my daughter's high school is on a quarterly marking period calender with Nov 8 and Jan 26 end dates for the first 2 marking periods. Syracuse's application materials and website state that a "senior grade report" should be submitted. Upon inquiry, we were told to send the first marking period grades and not wait for the second because of the dates. Ithaca told us to send the first and if they then needed the 2nd, they would advise us. Emerson wanted the 1st only. Carnegie Mellon, both. Muhlenberg, the 1st and maybe the 2nd, depending on when they got to her application. The best bet is to check with each school so as to not risk a mistake that could result in your application being rejected as incomplete.</p>
<p>As someone else mentioned in another thread, this is, of course, seperate from the final senior transcript. All schools want that as a certification that you actually graduated (and some as an assurance that after notification of acceptance, you didn't finsih out your senior year in a haze of alcohol and other partying :) ).</p>
