Some schools that I applied, didn’t ever mentiona bout mid-term grades requirement, but last week, these schools suddenly asked for my mid-terms.
And I did poorly on my first semester.
Will the mid-term grades affect a lot???
<p>i been wondering about this too, because santa clara univ. said that they cant decide on a decision, so they need my first semester grades so that they can reevaluate my application. im thinking it's not a good thing.</p>
<p>ugh oh............</p>
<p>You shouldn't have done poorly first semester. Second semester is where it's at.</p>
<p>And yes, poor first semester senior grades may have an adverse effect on your application.</p>
<p>Schwaby's right - however, a lot more kids have posted that their grades have gone down than up - so maybe a small dip will be ok. </p>
<p>Also - if you have any positive information to add (competitions, projects, etc.) you could send an update letter. Good luck!</p>
