<p>My school's first semester (out of 2 semesters) just ended a few days ago and my transcript won't be out until late February. But, my report card is already out. Should I ask my counselor to send in:</p>
<p>my midyear report NOW with my REPORT CARD</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>my midyear report THREE WEEKS LATER with my TRANSCRIPT???</p>
<p>I heard that transcripts are usually more official, but at the same time, I don't want to get rejected because of a really late midyear report. I am applying to some Ivys and some of HYPSM, so I guess that they are willing to reject an applicant who has even a small problem. Thank you so much in advance for your thoughts on this!!</p>
<p>Have your GC send it in now. S/he can explain that the transcripts won’t be out until later and that they will send it in then. I would think they should believe your GC as far as your semester grades go. Committees are starting to meet.</p>
<p>I doubt you’re the first kid in your high school to apply to college. I’m sure you GC knows the best procedure given the district’s policies. Don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>The schools don’t reject kids for stuff like this. They are humane. They will contact schools for missing data first.</p>
<p>Thank you for all your advice. I am going to ask my counselor about this and see if she can send in my report card now (and also send the transcript later). I guess I will have to ask the colleges if they are willing to accept report cards.</p>
<p>[I am from a new high school (second graduating class) in a small town where nobody has applied and been accepted to HYPSM for 5 years! I hope that my GC can help me sort this out.] :)</p>
