<p>In my high school we compile ranks three times, one after junior year, one in the senior midyear and one in the senior year. Which rank(s) do colleges use for admission? Do the RD colleges look your midyear rank?</p>
<p>I like to know this too.</p>
<p>It depends on when you send your transcript and what your school reports. That is, if you apply ED and mail your transcript today, it will have your junior year rank. If you apply RD after the first semester has ended, it will have your senior midyear rank; any earlier than that and it will have the junior year rank. When you file your midyear report, it will have your senior midyear rank; your final report will have your overall senior year rank. Make sense?</p>
<p>Usually the midyear grade is available at the end of Jan, right?</p>
<p>It should be whenever your first semester ends. Not sure what happens if you're on a trimester system.</p>
