What grades do my colleges see? Will Mid-terms be included?

Hi,

I’m an international student applying to a lot of competitive and very selective colleges. My predicted grades (I do A-Levels) are pretty high, and I have what my school calls ‘mock exams’ in January.

I know I have time to study for these mocks but realistically, with about 12 more colleges whose essays I need to work on and extracurriculars to balance, I’m sure these grades will be faaar from my predictions. My school has already printed out a ‘transcript’ which obviously doesn’t include my mid-terms in January. Does that mean my colleges will see my mock grades or not? Like do I have to send them out separately?

It depends on the university. There were a few that asked for my D’s midterm grades.

My advice would be to study and do well just in case.

This depends on the university- its not universal to all schools
