I was planning on sending my 1st marking period grades to the colleges I was applying to since I had pretty good grades. But, I ended up doing worse on an AP Calc test than I thought I would. I have a B- (81%), but all of my other grades are all in the A’s range (1 A-, a few A’s, and 2 A+'s)
Should I send them or just pass on it?
Don’t know colleges to which you are applying,wnd whether you are applying early action (EA) or early decision (ED) , or instead regular admission. You need to check what each college actually reqires. In general:
Most colleges don’t want mid or earlier first semester, senior year grades regardless of whether you are applying EA, ED or regular admission. For regular admission, many want you to send your final, first semester grades after applying but that does not need to include any mid or other during the semester grades. A minority of colleges with EA or ED require or recommend that you provide mid-first semester grades for EA or ED.
It is best to just check with the college. They all differ and you have no choice. If they want them, you gotta send them.
