waitlisted - sending in new grades

Applying to College
1

<p>I was waitlisted at Northwestern University and want to send updated grades, but my school will only send them a copy of the report card, which shows all marking period grades as well as the mid term grade. </p>

<p>Problem is, I got a D on the bio midterm (which schools didnt see), but have a B on it for the half year. Should I do ahead and send the report card with the D showing or find out some way to tell them my 3rd marking period grades without them seeing the D?</p>

<p>I would email the grades to an admissions officer personally.</p>

<p>If your intent is to show them a reason to accept you by taking the time to send an updated report card, do you feel this will achieve your goal? Would you be better off waiting for the final transcript-allowing you to improve your grade for the end of the term?</p>
