Senior grades

<p>hello,
im just wondering if you apply to brown ed, will they look at your senior grades? i ask because i sorta overloaded this year and will probaly get a C in ap chem for various reasons. please lemme kno</p>

<p>They won't see your grades when they are evaluating your application, but if you get in or are deferred, they will definitely be seeing them later in the year. A C won't get you rejected if you are already accepted however!</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>If I want to send the admission office my senior year first quarter grades and fax them around mid to late November, will they consider those grades for ED?</p>

<p>Onions: I don't think so, given that quarter grades aren't "official" yet. At least at my school they're just indicators of where you're headed at the halfway mark of the semester. Printing them on the report card is just a formality, but they don't "count", so I don't see why brown would count them.</p>

<p>But I don't know.</p>

<p>I e-mailed admissions and they told me to go ahead and send the grades as soon as possible, though it's not guaranteed that they will have time to review them. I need any boost I can get, however small, and my first marking period grades should be good. Oh well, one can only hope for the best!</p>

<p>Hm, at least for my school you can ask for your first quarter grades to be sent to Brown for ED which is what I'm doing once they come out around early November. I'm not sure what alfredneuman means by they aren't ''official'' yet, but that probably depends on whether your school has semesters vs. quarters. For my school we have official first quarter grades - check with your registrar first though.</p>

<p>"They won't see your grades when they are evaluating your application, but if you get in or are deferred, they will definitely be seeing them later in the year"</p>

<p>Sorry, but I am a little bit confused (mom of first time college bound kid) but if you are applying Early Decision, aren't you supposed to send in the first quarter grades (semester grades don't come out until after the December 15 notification) and don't the adcoms look at that in addition to your transcripts of the last four years?</p>

<p>Wow, do we really not need to send in senior quarter grades? Because mine may very well kill my chances of getting in......For the past three years, I've gotten all A's (without any weight), but this quarter I'm going to recieve my first B in a while.....and one B+ as well. I'm rather upset since both of these grades are on the border between the next higher grade, even though these are in AP classes. Can someone who applied ED before in past years confirm as well? As a side note, I plan on working hard next quarter and bringing that B to at least a B+, and that B+ to an A, for semester grades.</p>
