Are midyear reports needed if you're already accepted?

You were accepted with the understanding that you finish the year in a manner similar to the transcript that was submitted. It doesn’t sound like you dropped from As to a few Bs. If you have slipped from As to a B average in one semester we are talking about grades lower then Bs (?). If this is the case, it is something that you are going to want to discuss with your GC and see if it’s a drop that warrants contacting admissions. You want to contact them before they contact you. They are going to want to know an honest account of why your grades dropped, your plan for success during the second semester, and how you plan to manage the demanding work you should expect at UVa. This doesn’t mean you’re going to get your admission revoked, but significant drops in performance needs to be addressed.
