<p>Okay how importnat is the mid-year report?</p>
<p>Is it after all the decisions have been made?..so bascially as a short check up to see that ur not failing or sth liek that</p>
<p>Or is it actually a pretty significant part of ur application liek ur GPA, ur school rank, etc?!</p>
<p>THanks in advance!! :)</p>
<p>Isn't the mid-year report sent out in...January? So it's before decisions are mailed out. Not sure about how important it is, though. :/</p>
<p>No, before Feb. 15th. I hope its not worth a lot because i'm RELALY slacking off these days...</p>
<p>Well, if you applied early anywhere, it's too late for those schools (unless of course you're failing). Otherwise, it could affect admissions decisions, but I too have to question how much so.</p>
<p>If you apply early you would have already sent in a first quarter report with your grades from the beginning of school until the end of the first half of fall semester. for those applying to private schools regular decision, you send in a mid-year report sometime in january or february (or whenever the first semester grades are available). most likely this is somewhere between a simple check to see you're not failing and as important as GPA, rank, etc. i would think it would be a little more than a check to see you're not failing, as colleges might use your senior grades to give you the admit/reject letter IF you're a applicant on the bubble. However, if you aren't close to that bubble (you're an easy admit or easy reject) then I doubt these grades make much difference. they are definitely not as important as the GPA, SAT, transcript, or extracurriculars maybe,</p>
<p>that's good</p>
<p>phewph, thanks westsidewolf...</p>
<p>can anyone else confirm this? Preferably a college rep? :)</p>
<p>i feel your pain babeexphat... i'm going through a bit of senioritis myself.</p>
<p>its still an importnat part of the application unless u applied ED/EA. trust me the fact htat i have senioritis shows on my report card</p>
<p>i'm wondering this too. my grades suuuck. i suck. i used to be smart... but it all got sucked up int he college app process.</p>
<p>if my GPA from fresh - jun year is a 3.52uw and all of a sudden my mid-yr report shows a 3.2-3.3 however is jammed packed with 5 APs and 1 Honors... that is ok right...</p>
<p>I have senioritis like no other.
The other day my friend was like, "applying to college is making me flunk out of school." So true...</p>
<p>i hope thats okay 9989.. i have my first 88% ... in my entire high schoo lcareer (88 is still an A in our school).... buti m freaking out for the mid year report lol</p>
<p>i dnt wannna stuudy anymooore *whine * whine *whine :(</p>
<p>Here are a couple links that might interest you. FWIW I don't think a single 88% is going to sink your applications.

I'll end by saying last year someone on CC didn't send in a midterm report into Cornell and called its office. The office told him "don't worry about it; we don't really look at it."

<p>For those who have senioritis and choose to ignore the advice from adcoms that frequent this website. Like an adcom from Tufts and University of Virgina, the answer is it does matter. But don't listen to them, they are not the source of accurate information.[sarcasim off]</p>
<p>make sure that your final report card is up to par though. my high school statistics teacher told us that his son was in serious jeopardy of having his acceptance revoked from Michigan due to lacking final report card.</p>
<p>If your college of choice is seeing it and if your acceptance relies upon how good your grades are, I'd say that it's important, and you should be doing your best. Senioritis in November isn't a good excuse for not doing well.</p>
<p>^Even if you are trying your best, your grades might be lower compared to junior year because of the stress of college applications, leadership in clubs, most AP classes... I don't think that would count as senioritis</p>
<p>Midyears are EXTREMELY important. Let me repeat that: midyears are EXTREMELY important. Most students tend to be taking many advanced courses in their senior years - admissions offices at most selective and highly selective schools want to see you can handle that challenge. As most students applying to such schools are taking the most demanding curriculums they can at their high schools, it is critically important that you don't drop the ball and show that you are motivated and interested in the advanced work you are doing. A slight drop is not going to hurt much (we understand you've got to do your applications, remain involved in activities, work, etc...,), but a drop of a full letter grade in most subjects is not going to bode well, nor will a drop-off of grades after ED or RD acceptance. </p>
<p>DO NOT GET SENIORITIS!</p>
