Senior Year Classes

Most schools you apply to RD will request your midyear report, which is basically your grades from fall semester senior year.

For EA, it will depend on the school and when they release decisions. Most release before fall semester ends, so they won’t have your fall semester senior year grades. Some schools may request your quarter grades, but none of the school I applied EA to did. This is why it’s important to only apply EA if you do not need fall semester senior year grades to bring up your GPA.

Even if you get accepted EA or RD, the schools will still request your final transcript and may rescind admission if you do poorly. Usually this means getting D’s or F’s, but some schools have stricter policies.
