My daughter was admitted to her second choice major during EA while they reviewed her for the college of nursing. She checked her portal today and her major had been changed to nursing. She did not receive any email letting her know of the update. So, make sure your students are checking their portal.

We are the same - if you want Nursing you want Nursing so a second choice does not make ANY sense for us whatsoever.

Congratulations, thatâs great! My kid was also admitted to 2nd choice, waiting on nursing, but the portal hasnât changed. We will keep checking with fingers crossed.

Same here no change
Maybe a silly question, were grades just reported in the common app or did they also need to be entered into the schoolâs site? Thanks
If youâre talking midterm grades, your school shouldâve sent them to any colleges that your child applied to⊠I check my sons applications that are still outstanding, and noticed that our school sent midterm grades to them. I did notice on my sons UTK application portal that midterm grades were sent and received

Does it depend on the college? I broke down and paid the $4 from Parchment for a few of my sonâs schools. However, it appeared some of them automatically got them and some didnât, unless they all did and itâs a function of their application portals. My sonâs high school also seems to indicate requests need to go through Parchment. 
I donât know Parchment - but I checked the College Board/Common App site this morning and it shows that mid-term grades were submitted/downloaded to them (so the school counselor did their part, at least for my town). How quickly the college downloads from College Board and then integrates those updates into their final review? No idea. Unfortunately some school portals are better than others at showing the level of documentation received.

Thank you! I now see the âmid-year reportâ under the counselor section of the common app. Looks like all of my sonâs schools downloaded it as well. Oh well. Hopefully I get all of this right by the time my next and final child goes through this three years from now!
Quick question was the UTK Calculated Core GPA* on your GoVols Portal complete before you received a decision ? Our is still blank
to clarify the Calculated Self-Reported Core GPA is complete
the UTK Calculated Core GPA is blank

In my DS, UTK Calculated was never populated with anything - the only thing that populated was the Calculated Self Reported. Accepted EA.

Same. Kid was accepted EA. The UTK Calculated Core GPA was, is, and likely will remain blank. Never had anything in there.
The only thing that was ever populated was the Calculated Self-Reported Core GPA, which was calcâd off the SRAR input.

He applied in early November, I believe he self reported on the common app then the school sent his transcript, which contained first three years of high school
Same with my son. Still blank.

My daughter was deferred and reached out to admissions this week to confirm that theyâd received her mid-year report because it wasnât appearing in the documents list on the portal. In the reply the rep said, âPlease remember you should receive your admissions decision mid-February or the 2nd week in March.â Disheartening because the portal still says mid-February.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. the wait. we were deferreed too this is our last to hear from
oh man, whereâs the 2nd week in March coming from?
She doesnât want to reply to ask, and honestly, not sure we even want to know at this point! Maybe he means sheâll be waitlisted? I canât imagine applying in October, then waiting through a deferral and a waitlist, but Iâm sure plenty of kids do it.
