No… My DD is on a trimester, and mid-year grades were sent in December, and there is a green check next to it, in her portal. It just means it was received or not received. I would imagine if not received, the application is not technically complete.
Yes I commented this to you yesterday. They need to send a screen shot of the grades. Can’t just type them in. It tells you on the portal.

My second making period ends end of Jan. Isn’t that around the time decisions come out?
Think it’s mid-Feb. The portal says grades need to be uploaded by Feb 15 so you have plenty of time. Good luck!!
Mid-Feb is for RD applicants.

Aw you got me hopeful I was wrong and it was earlier for EA but I just checked again and here’s what the UVA website says which unfortunately is in line with what they’ve been saying for a few months now with EA (mid Feb).
It would be fantastic if they come out earlier though. RD is much later and definitely not mid February it sounds like which means a very long wait for some. 
“ Early Action is a non-binding and unrestrictive admission plan that may be an attractive option for those feel they can present a strong application without senior grades being reviewed. We aim to release decisions of admit, defer, or deny by mid-February. Students admitted through the Early Action admission plan will have until May 1 to reserve a spot by in the incoming class. Deferred students will be reviewed during Regular Decision.
Regular Decision is a non-binding and unrestrictive admission plan that allows students more time to complete the application and to have grades from the first term of their senior year considered in the review. Students will be notified of their admission decisions by April 1 Students admitted through the Regular Decision admission plan will have until May 1 to reserve a spot in the incoming class.”
The timeline on our website is the same as last year. As always, if we finish early, we release early.
The check list does not reflect admission decisions. I know it’s really common to read into things (you should see reddit when we change the photo at the top of the portal), but decisions aren’t even loaded in until we are totally done. We have A LOT of work to do. We have more files than in the past. We are working ridiculous hours to get the files reviewed, I assure you!

RD is usually released that 3rd week in March, around the time William and Mary release theirs.
@swimwiththefish I think you meant that for the kayak person. I haven’t disputed that RD is late and by April. That person said RD is mid Feb.
sorry about that I have a hard time navigating this board.
Haha, I did the exact same thing yesterday to someone. 
I am kayak and I was replying to this:
“ Think it’s mid-Feb. The portal says grades need to be uploaded by Feb 15 so you have plenty of time. Good luck!!”
I was talking about uploading mid-semester grades in time for EA decisions, because the Feb 15th date is meant for RD kids but would not apply to EA kids (who will already have their decisions by then).
Is this not a UVA EA thread? 
It does get confusing with so many discussions happening at once.
Good luck to everyone!
@kayak24 Oh yes, that would make sense. It may have been more helpful if they had on their portal something that said by xxxx for EA applicants and by February 15 for Regular Decision applicants.
Good catch.

I hope you are right - we have the red X also
They’re amazing. Semester report was uploaded, red x was removed within 24 hours. So impressive.
What do you do if you don’t have a semester report?
Sorry, new to the discussion here. Does an EA applicant have to submit their mid-year report?
We have the red x requesting mid year grades.
