Send transcript before first semester ends?

<p>I have to apply to RD schools by Jan. 1 and 15. My first semester ends in the middle of January, right around the 15th. Should I apply, but wait to send my transcript when it is updated with first semester grades? Or should I apply and send my current one, but then send an updated one when I have it?</p>

<p>What is usually done is send the current transcript as it is now. Colleges then want a midyear report from your GC, and at that time the first semester grades are reported.</p>
