Mid Year Report for ED?

Haha I win:) · 10-26-2009, 08:44 AM

Does anyone know if the Mid Year report is required for ED applicants or is it just optional?

admissionsgeek · 10-26-2009, 11:23 AM

hey there...it is required, as is the final transcript you are supposed to send after school year.

columbia can still rescind your admission if you screw up significantly.

Is the Mid Year report due before the November 2nd deadline? On the form it asks for ED applicants' quarter grades.

admissionsgeek · 10-26-2009, 01:11 PM

no, i believe the midyear report has a non-specific due date something like whenever the 1st term, 2nd quarter or 1st trimester grades are available they should be sent in. varying of course by your school year. but that is not the same thing as 1st quarter grades (or whatever possible) that they want for ED.

Ok now I'm confused. Like Celebration said, they ask for first quarter grades for ED... so I shouldn't send those grades as my Mid Year report?

does your school have quarter grades? then provide them for ED.
more than likely then your school will also have midterm/semester/term grades that you can provide for the mid-year report, which differs from the first quarter grades.

does this make sense? i tried writing this five times to see if i could further clarify, but i think it is pretty clear.

You HAVE to send your first quarter grades.
Once you get your midyear grades, send them too.

You should deliver to Columbia any formal grades you receive prior to the date of acceptance/rejection/deferral.

Are 6-week grading reports due to Columbias!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This would be absolutely ridiculous because my teacher accidentally gave me an F on a test that gave me an F in the class on the day 6-week's were due. Then changed it back to an A- the next day. On my 6-week grading report i have 5 a's and this wrong f. What do i do!?!?!

bump with answer please...

columni · 10-31-2009, 10:27 PM

wait my school's 1st quarter hasnt ended yet (not for another 2-3 weeks). what do i do?

Combine · 10-31-2009, 10:54 PM

I don't think 1st quarter reports are required, but your school may provide them if they're available. Most schools don't even record quarter grade reports on official transcripts.

admissionsgeek · 11-01-2009, 10:08 AM

hi, if you can send anything to help your candidacy, you should.

if it is not available, then obviously you can't. if the grading report has real grades A-F, 0-4, 0-100, 0-10, 0-7 or whatever scale your school goes by, then feel free to send it in. if it is just comments about how you show up to class on time, perhaps that is not helpful.

You only need to send quarter grades if they count as actual grades in your school. First of all, I don't know why shadow keeps posting this message when none of the Columbia instructions mention any quarter grades. The point of the mid-year report is to show your progress, so that will be filled out by your counselor, not you.

actually i sent columbia that question and they replied that you did have to send your first MP grades:

Dear Kate,
Please send your grades to us as soon as they are available.
