Hello, I was wondering wether Cornell may potentially ask my counselor for first quarter grades? My counselor said she doesn’t send any schools 1st quarter grades unless they require it, or if they personally ask for it.
Adcom may ask for it if you are borderline or if they just want to get more information about you. As an example, if you have not taken that many APs before and are taking few APs senior year, they want to know how you are doing. FYI - my kids’ schools (2 different schools) automatically sent in mid semester grades for ED students.
If you are doing well first quarter, I would definitely ask your counselor to send in your first quarter grades.
3 kids applied ED to Cornell from my daughter’s school last year, and Cornell asked for first quarter grades from one of them.
Yes, most likely
