Why can't the UC's request mid-years? :(

<p>my mid-years are the best of my career and show an upward trend, but now the UC's (especially Berkeley, the place I really want to go to) won't get to see them :(....</p>

<p>YEAH MAN! same here!</p>

<p>They do, but only for a very limited amount of applicants who under go supplemental review.</p>

<p>im sure the last thing they want is more paperwork from 40000+ applicants :)</p>

<p>pity, i have a really nice upward trend this yr, but i didnt get a supplemental review either</p>

<p>senior mid-years are clearly an important indicator of how well a student is performing during his/her senior year, and how he/she might perform in college. It's truly a shame...</p>

<p>^ if mid-years were reported online like the transcript, they wouldn't have any paperwork :P.</p>

<p>They are reported online (for the supplementals that a sliver of applicants have to file). </p>

<p>However, if you wait for midyears then either the admissions readers have to wait until midyear before they can start rating applicants, or they have to do a second pass and re-rank everyone once grades are in. Either represents additional work.</p>

<p>All I can say is, thank God for the UC system and their ignorance toward Senior Year Grades.</p>
