<p>If applying as a freshman for fall semester of the following year, applications are due DURING second semester of the freshman year. What role do second semester grades take in transfer admissions?</p>
<p>At most some schools request a mid-year report, which you take around to your classes and have profs mark your current grade and sign.</p>
<p>My D1 attended a school that finished sp sem in April, so she sent in an unofficial grade report since an official transcript would have taken too much time. However, she has no way of knowing whether or not it arrived in time or if it was taken under consideration for the transfer decision.</p>
<p>Entomom - my school is on the quarter system so my second quarter will be done soon after my apps are due and I’ll send those in asap. Will that count as my midterm report or do i have to wait for 3rd quarter grades?</p>
<p>Good question. My guess would be that your second quarter transcript would be more than fine, but I don’t know that for sure, and it may vary by school. </p>
<p>I would suggest you first go to the college websites and see if they give any specific instructions about the mid-term report. If not, or if still unsure, give them a call. Better safe than sorry.</p>
<p>Will do, thanks.</p>
