<p>My reach school has rolling admissions and my test score is within their range but my gpa is like .2 under their average. My question is do I have a better chance at acceptance if I apply as soon as possible? Would it be better to wait so that I have a chance to showcase my senior grades as well?(which will be the hardest scheldule I will take and I'm dedicated to pulling off a 3.7+). My worry is that if I apply too early, I will get flat out rejected and have no chance for them to see my senior grades but if I apply too late, admissions will get harder since it is rolling admissions.</p>
<p>All the info I've heard is that it is better to apply to rolling admissions schools early, then send your senior grades.</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>I need more opinions</p>
<p>Yes, you are at advantage if you apply earlier. If you apply later, even if your stats are better then, you may be out of luck because they may not have much room left.</p>
<p>If your GPA was SIGNIFICANTLY below the school's median, and you had only begun an upwards trend in junior year, I'd suggest waiting for senior year grades.</p>
<p>However, your GPA sounds like it is pretty close to this school's median. As long as your grades have been pretty consistent, apply as early as possible.</p>
<p>Generally early is better. Also, you need to get the answer to a question: does the school you are talking about even use senior grades for admission? Large numbers of colleges with rolling admission do not, so waiting could be useless.</p>
<p>If I was waitlisted, could I just send my senior grades anyway even if they didn't ask for it?
And my grade went up mostly junior year(3.7+, 3.1 and 3.4 in frosh and soph) . Since it is not very far away from their average, schould I just apply early. Im just scared that I will get rejected without showing them my senior grades</p>
