<p>Ok well my question is how "often" is often for USC? Do they regularly ask everyone because my main concern is I am only applying to UC's and USC but I have 5 APs this year and it's really taxing and I have 3 A's but 2 are probably going to be C's and I would much rather prefer to not send my midyear report to USC if it's optional and they don't request it. </p>
<p>So they make it sound like it is optional and only upon request you must submit it. Is this true? Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me more info.</p>
<p>yes, it’s optional unless they ask for them (usually in march). In my experience, they do ask for grades from a significant amount of people (I’d say maybe half, more or less). The only reason they wouldn’t is if you’re a shoo in for them. And there’s no way to tell if that’s the case, so I’d work really hard to get your grades up! There’s not much you can do other than that. Good luck :)</p>
<p>Well I have a 4.5 but I’m no shoo in probably so that is something to keep in mind because that’s not good if I get 2 Cs! Well thank you for the info I hope maybe I might be the less than half that eeks by.</p>
<p>does anyone know if those who are accepted in the first wave (late jan/early feb) are required to send in midyear report? i would think that since you’ve already been accepted, you won’t need to send anything in? or perhaps they would request it when they’re deciding whether to grant you the scholarship or not?
and the same question for the other waves? do you only send in a midyear report if they ask you to (whether for borderline applicants or dean’s scholarship hopefuls)? how likely is it that they would ask?
i’m just worried because i think i’m a top tier applicant (UW 3.8, W 4.75, sat 2310), but i’ll probably end up with a 3.3-6 gpa this semester, probably destroying any chance i may have had at getting in. thanks for any response!</p>
