Was Anyone Not Directly Asked for Mid-year Grades?

<p>I just checked my USConnect status for the first time in a while, and got this…

We have received your application, and it appears we require no additional information at this time. We will be reviewing applications through the month of March, and we expect to be able to meet our commitment to notify freshmen by April 1st. We often like to see the mid-year grades of freshman applicants. If you have not already done so, please submit your final, fall term marks when they become available. You may submit them at USConnect by clicking “mid-year grade reports”, or by visiting <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/midyeargrades[/url]”>www.usc.edu/midyeargrades</a>. Sometimes, in the course of our review of applications, we find that we need additional information. In such cases we will mail a written request. If you receive a request for more information, please respond promptly.

^is this a mid-year request or is just a standard message? I already submitted my mid-year report if it matters.</p>

<p>I didn’t receive a letter…</p>

<p>2260 SAT
800/780 SAT II
3.86 UW 4.08 W
National Merit Finalist</p>

<p>I submitted my mid-year report online early Feb… and all my friends w/ lower stats got the letter asking for mid-year report… guess we’ll find out if it meant anything really soon :)</p>

<p>I think everyone has that status, and no, it’s not a direct request.</p>

<p>i think you guys are just reading into it too much</p>

<p>i received the letter as well, even though when i sent my transcript, it already included my 1st semester grades. i only received one B my 1st semester though, and my GPA was a 4.14 weighted for the semester.</p>

<p>for anyone wondering, my GPA is below average, but my SAT/ACT are above average, and i am in the top 10% of my class</p>

<p>GPA- 3.66 W, 3.52 UW
SAT- 2160
ACT- 32</p>

<p>not really sure what to make of it, though i am pretty sure that i won’t be admitted unfortunately</p>

<p>Blueandgold, in what way is

If you have not already done so, please submit your final, fall term marks when they become available.

not a direct request? That language is as plain and direct as any I have seen. And yes, everyone has that status because everyone is supposed to submit mid-term grades. </p>

<p>Yes, RADtomato, that request for your mid-term grades is a request for your mid-term grades. Congratulations on following USC’s directions and submitting your mid-term grades!</p>

<p>alamemom, you are right. Last year there was either a more vague “we sometimes ask for midyears… blah blah… but you can submit them yourself if you want…blah blah” AND a “please submit your midyear grades,” which also arrived via snail mail.</p>

<p>This year’s wording seems a direct request to submit regardless of whether or not you receive a snail mail letter.</p>

<p>Did a 3.67 W GPA, 1 semester senior year, screw up my chances of getting into USC? I had 3 very hard AP classes!</p>

<p>i got requested for one and i guess i can consider myself borderline…slightly below the average gpa and sat scores…hmmmmmm but i really hope the sending out letters didn’t mean anything</p>
