Accepted last night, OOS, engineering, 4.01W, not sure about UW, no test scores reported, great course rigor and ECs (lots of leadership, Eagle Scout, NJROTC senior roles), probably a good essay and recs but obviously not sure about that.

What is your major and were you admitted?
Admitted.
My son had a rough Fall semester and received lower than expected grades in two AP courses (Calculus and AP English 4). Must he submit his mid-year transcript to stay in consideration for admission?
Reach out to an AO and ask.
Their website says: You have the opportunity to enhance your application
by submitting an updated high school transcript and/or new test scores for further evaluation.
To me that says no but - not submitting may send a message too.
What grade is lower than expected? Is it a B or higher? If so send.
This was for deferred btw. Was your student deferred?

Thank you! Yes, he was deferred during EA1 and not heard a peep since. The scores were bad. 71 and 70. He missed some school and didnāt make up grades - it was a mess. But he is a smart kid and but for this blip, think he would have had a terrific shot. Think heāll just leave it alone and hope for the best.
You can do that.
I assume you have others in the bag already. Auburn is a fine school - but thereās many fine schools - Ms State doesnāt have the immediate surrounding town but is somewhat similar. Arkansas is slightly bigger town wise but is similar. And there are plenty of others.
You just need one place to land.
Good luck.

I agree. Let it go for now. If admitted, he will obviously need to submit a final transcript and any significant drops will need to be explained. Encourage him to work hard 2nd semester to negate that drop and then it will be far easier to explain to a school that has already accepted him.

Thank you, and yes! He is accepted to Texas A&M and OU and loves them both. So he will land in a great spot no matter what. Just wanted him to have as many options as possible and was super upset with his situation last semester. But in the end, heāll be ok. Just a bummer to screw up so badly so close to the finish line.
OU is really nice!! A&M is big 
Heās got great admits already. Look at it this way - too much choice = hard to pick so if Auburn doesnāt happen (and it might), itās easier at the end
Best of luck.

That is fantastic on both OU and TAMU. We are in a similar boat with fall grades. @Georgiamomof2 confirmed above they were recently admitted to Auburn after deferral without submitting mid-year grades. I think definitely lay low and hope for the best. We also have OU as an option and are excited about it.
