<p>No, this isn't one of those oh my god I have a B will my admission be rescinded threads. </p>
<p>I am wondering what your opinions are on sending a letter to the adcom notifying them of my straight a's this semester in addition to the mid year report. </p>
<p>I am afraid that the report will get there too late. I am applying regular decision.</p>
<p>won’t the midyear report already contain your semester grades?</p>
<p>Yes, the midyear report has the 1st semester grades, so notifying them of your straight As via separate letter would just be repetitive. They’ll see it anyway.</p>
<p>and congrats on the grades-- straight As 1st semester is tough to get!</p>
<p>re: semester grades “getting there too late”. My daughter’s midterm exams just finished yesterday due to a number of snow days. Her grades won’t arrive at any of the schools she applied to until sometime next week.</p>
<p>It is also possible that grades that arrive later are fresher on the mind of your adcom rep.
Good luck.</p>
<p>Lots lots lots lots of kids have semesters that are just ending. If the school is requiring your mid year grades, rest assured they’ll be looked at. It’s only 2/10. Decisions are 4/1. Lots (x4) of time for them to be received and reviewed. They get through…what…? 20,000 (?) applications in 4 months or so. They still have nearly 2 months of that left. Luck to all.</p>
<p>ok, thanks for the advice. i was just worried since i was under the impression that most schools ended the first semester right before the holidays.</p>
<p>I’m guessing most DO end at winter break. But a LOT, also, end later. You’re fine.</p>
