<p>For one thing, when does the evaluation process really end at Caltech for the regular decision?</p>
<p>I'm planning to fax my February exam result to Caltech which comes out between mid and late February, but say if Caltech finishes its evaluation in mid February, then there's not much point in sending the mid-year report.</p>
<p>Even people who have been accepted EA are required to send in md-year reports. It is, and aurona says, insurance that you are keeping up with your grades. If your mid year grades fall considerably over your transcript grades, you could be turned down, or, for EA students, recinded.</p>
