@luna112 On the portal where you upload it, it tells you what they will accept. You can screen shot grades, etc. If you’re on trimester then you do that report.
@steeler319 If you look on your portal and have a red x by mid year report, then it sounds like they want it. Prior posters here had that and my son had it. We uploaded it and the x was gone within 24 hours. I was impressed with how quickly they reviewed and got that marked off.
I was too! My D’s updated in under an hour!
Will the mid-year report be taken into account for EA?
I hope so! On my son’s application status it showed it as a missing item, so I assume it was required. Once it was submitted they marked it as checked off.
I hope so too and it will help my daughter (UVA is a bit of a reach and it was a good first half of the year for her). We’re OOS (MA) and UVA doesn’t typically take kids from our HS but with this crazy year who knows!
What is the deadline to submit mid year grades for EA? UVA website says “as available.” However, S1 grades have not been finalized yet and acceptance goes out in a few weeks. Can you submit as is even if not final yet?
DeanJ said in a recent instagram live that UVA does not consider mid year grades for EA. If you want those considered, then you should apply RD. That said, you can upload a screenshot or something to your portal, but she emphasized that it would probably not be seen at this late date in the EA review process.
Thank you!
Interesting, I wonder why so many of us had the box marked (rather unchecked) as EA applicants requiring us to submit 7th semester grades.
I don’t know, but my guess is that the requirement gets put in automatically to all portals after the RD deadline, and it does become a necessity for EA applicants who get deferred. Maybe @Dean_J will see this and chime in!
Does anyone know a timeline for decisions
Mid Feb
Does anyone know when they released EA acceptance the last few years?
In past years it has typically been end of January, but Dean J has been very clear that, due to an increase in applications and the TO aspect, decisions will be later than normal - so mid-Feb.
Status pages: We put midyear reports up early so students have plenty of notice and so we don’t have to chase them down for as many deferred students during our RD process. We still wind up having to chase some down, of course.
To be clear, the app increases at many schools are probably due, in part, to test-optional policies. Those policies specifically don’t slow the review down. We always read ALL of our files. There are just more of them this year.
You can look at the archives of the admission blog to see when decisions came out for the last 10+ years. Just look at posts from January and March. That being said, I’ve been making it clear every week in my live q&a sessions that you will not see EA decisions in January. There’s just no way it can happen with the amount of work we have to do. I think I’ve also posed this before here. Hang in there! We are moving as quickly as possible.
thank you!
do I just upload my mid-year grades as a “general document update” ? My grades were just finalized so I am just now submitting them.
I’m so sorry, that was UNC. Did use General Document for UVA.
thanks! no worries
It only took about 4 hours for them to show as received in the portal after submitting.
