To send mid year report?

Applying to College
1

<p>From what I can tell, USC doesn't require a midyear report, so I'm not sure if I should send mine if they don't ask for it. My grades this semester go like this:</p>

<p>AP Lit&Comp B
AP US Gov A
AP Stats A
Culinary Arts A
PE A</p>

<p>I would have sent my grades if I had got the 4.0 like I planned, but I'm not sure if it would hurt or help me now. If it makes a difference my culmulative was 3.83.</p>

<p>We find that an applicant's mid-year senior year grades can help us make better admission decisions. These grades can show how applicants handle some of the most challenging courses of their high school career, or they can further illustrate emerging trends in overall performance.</p>

<p>We will send many requests for mid-year grades in January and February. We'll need a quick response, but you may submit them (even if we haven't requested them) to: <a href="http://www.usc.edu/MDYResponse%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usc.edu/MDYResponse&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>If you choose to mail them, be sure to write "Mid Year Report" on the envelope to ensure speedy handling.

<p>If UCS doesn't want it, it probably won't matter if you send it. But apparently they want. Typically the colleges give you forms in the application packet for rec's, transcripts, and mid-year reports. You give the form to your hs, and they mail it in.</p>

<p>Yeah, I've seen that link on the online application, but I still don't see where it says exactly where midyear reports are required for everyone. I mean, something like 1000+ people have already been admitted before most 1st semester grades were put out.</p>

<p>The mid-year reports are handled differently at different colleges. Some college (WUSTL?) won't give you your RD decision without it. Other colleges only use it for borderline cases. In "Admissions Confidential", Toors described how adcoms would dig thru the mailroom looking for the mid-year report for certain students, but not usually. If they want to see the mid-year and they can't find it, they will call your GC.</p>
