what happens if we cannot get it in by feb 15th not until march 1st? Do we have to turn in midyear?

The midyear report is required of all applicants. It should be sent in by your school as soon as it is available, even if after the 2/15 deadline.

I have a question reguard midyear reports. My school is on a trimester schedule and we have already recieved our 1st trimester grades. I forgot to ask my counselor this, but do the 1st trimester grades appear on the transcript? What grades would be on the mid-year report - (if 2nd trimester grades) - as 2nd trimester isnt finished until the end of Feb.

*AdmissionsDaniel* · 01-03-2007, 09:22 AM

For students who attend trimester systems, we recommend that the school send updated transcripts when 1st trimester grades are available, and then again when 2nd trimester grades are available. Your counselor can choose when to complete the official mid-year report, with the 1st of 2nd trimester grades.

I suggest speaking with your guidance counselor about this, as they probably have an established policy regarding sending and completing midyear reports.

Alright, thanks for the advice Daniel.

At my school, our 2nd trimester ends at the end of February. Will the mid-year report for the 2nd trimester grades make it in time for admissions decisions? What if they are rushed? My junior year really sucked and I hope my senior year grades will show that I have changed as a student.

I'm in the same situation as solsek. The transcript I've already sent to Hopkins has my 1st trimester senior grades. However, the transcript w/ 2nd trimester grades would probably be postmarked by the 2nd or 3rd week of March, so I'm guessing that's too late. Should I send the md yr report at the mid Feb deadline or wait till 2nd trimester grades are available? The guidance office says it doesn't matter to them.

aaawww ... hell

*AdmissionsDaniel* · 01-08-2007, 09:26 AM

As I said before, trimester grades should be sent when they become available. Use the mid-year report to have your school send first trimester grades. Then send the updated second trimester grades as well, when they become available. If they will be available in late February or early March, it is recommended your school also fax them: 410-516-6025.

Do note this: if a counselor is reviewing a file where senior year grades are important and they are not in the file, we will get them -- even if that means calling the school ourselves.

Thanks, I will make SURE they make it in time for admissions time. I hope my 4.0 UW/ 5.0 W , 5 AP class courseload will show how I have changed as a student..lol (Oh I have ! )

Do adcoms look at an UW or Weighted trend? ( I have a Weighted upward trend, but Unweighted, it has remained the same)

*AdmissionsDaniel* · 02-27-2007, 07:08 AM

The Johns Hopkins Admissions committee looks at both unweighted and weighted grade trends. We do not ignore anything included with a student's high school transcript.

How important is my mid-year report if I have already been accepted to my college of choice under ED?

I am not performing well in my first semester Senior year because I have never taken any AP classes before and I have three this year. I think I will get mediocre grades from 80 to 90. Will my poor performance in the first semester senior year revoke my acceptance to my ED college...

*AdmissionsDaniel* · 01-22-2009, 08:50 AM

Based on the way you phrased your question, it seems that Johns Hopkins University is not the school you were admitted to Early Decision. If that is true, then I really can't help you ... every school has different policies, therefore you really should contact the school you were admitted to as an ED student to ask this question. Don't rely on an answer you get on College Confidential ... contact the school directly for an accurate and official answer.

If you are asking specifically about Johns Hopkins' policy on mid-year reports for admitted ED students, we do not require them nor review them. We concern ourselves only with a final transcript review for ED admits, and that is quite important. One's admission is contingent on the successful completion of high school, and a serious downturn in grades could lead to a student having their admission rescinded.

I am little bit worried about my mid year report. Do colleges look at semester exams also? Because if they don't I am ok, but if they do they should probably know that the semester exam week was the same week on were both UNC Chapel Hill and Wake Forest admitted me.
During that week I could not concentrate but on COLLEGES!

*AdmissionsDaniel* · 01-23-2009, 07:37 AM

If your semester exams are listed on your transcript we look at them. College admissions counselors review everything we can see.
