The strangest thing....

Applying to College
1

not really…

I applied to these schools: American, USC, Pepperdine, Northeastern and SMU. Some of the schools told me they needed Mid year reports, but I can’t find a form for any of them. I’m not lazy, I would call but I get back from school late so I can’t, and I checked the websites and get nothing. If anyone applied to these schools tell me what u did. If theres no form do I just send my grades for last semester?? I seriously never get a chance to call bc their offices hours close by the time I get home from school, so please reply

<p>for mid year reports are your mid year grades, you just give your guidance office a yellow envelope with postage, just like for the transcipts and they do the rest,these are senior not junior grades(1st sem)</p>

<p>Before school- can you not call then?</p>

<p>I don't believe Pepperdine asks for them as they don't use common app and there were no forms or mention of it anywhere we looked</p>

<p>i called pepperdine and they told me if first semester senior yr wasnt on your transcript you had to, and I start school at 7:30, so not really, I leave my house at 7</p>

<p>Okay, obvious question, I am assuming you are in the same time zone, and that you can't get to any kind of phone from 7am until 5pm....</p>

<p>thats right</p>

<p>Five choices I can see:
(1) Send urgent email to the admissions offices at the schools you're concerned about.
(2) Have a parent call on your behalf during the day.
(3) Borrow someone's cell phone or use a pay phone at lunchtime.
(4) Send a mid-year report identified with your name, address, birthdate (and SSN?) to the schools with a short cover memo attached asking them to please contact you if there is a special form that needs to be provided.
(5) Ask your school guidance counselor to find out for you (or perhaps the GC knows already).</p>
