Hey there folks,
I thought it was high time that we started a thread for the class of 2021 and here it is. Please share anything that you think will come in handy during the application season.
I live in the US and I’m a permanent resident. I moved from India 4 years ago so I’m still very connected. Feel free to ask me for help. I’m a senior applying this year!
@indy101, Thank you. It means a lot. 
Does class 12 midterm grades matter in USA admission for CBSE board?
@IamINTP You might want to check with someone more experienced but as far as I know, most colleges only consider your grades up until 11th grade. Some might ask for 12th predicted grades which are- ideally- based on the mid-term marks.
They do count if your marks are put on your transcript before you send in your application. I’m in the US right now (though I did 5th-10th from India) and my early action applications will have my quarter grades; my regular decision ones will have my semester grades.
Additionally, I’ve heard there are a few school which will want 3rd quarter grades as soon as they’re available. Don’t let Senioritis hit you: Keep your grades similar to what they’ve been throughout your high school career.
