Should I send my first quarter grades for ED to W&M?

Applying to College
1

I am applying Early Decision to William and Mary and I really want to do everything I can to get in. I am a very good candidate for them. My stats are in-line, I interviewed, I’m instate, and I have great extracurriculars. I was wondering if I should send in my first quarter grades even with a slightly lower grade. It is a high upward trend overall. My school operates on the weighted scale with +/- offered.

CP Pre-Calculus: A

AP Government: A

Honors Physics (no AP offered): B

AP Psychology: A

Religion (required): A

AP Literature: A

Honors World War I: A

The GPA for this quarter is about a 4.47

So my question is should I send them these grades? I want to because I think all my grades are good but I am worried that physics will hurt me. Thank you!

I forgot to mention that A is the highest grade awarded. My school does not give out A+s like it gives out B+ or C+

A single B will not hurt you. Does W&M want your interim grades? Colleges frequently do.

William and Mary has said that they will look at them as supplemental material but don’t require them. They just want your transcript and midyear report.

Send them, they look great.
Good luck! W&M such a fabulous school
