Awkward Semester Reports,

Applying to College
1

<p>So, I got deferred from my Early Action school of choice, and now I face an awkward situation where I have to frantically raise my semester grade to the level of my final junior grades. </p>

<p>That said, my semester reports actually come out the last day of January. It’s a full 30 days after the application deadline, and very likely after colleges are likely to download my application. </p>

<p>Will these colleges receive my first semester grades? Although it’s embarrassing to say so, I’ve accrued a horrible case of senioritis already and it’s gonna be hard mustering up my will to excel at school again. If they’re likely to not get it, I might just collapse on myself. (In an A to B sorta sense, not in a B to F sorta sense)</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>“Will these colleges receive my first semester grades?” Yes they will use this.</p>

<p>“I’ve accrued a horrible case of senioritis already and it’s gonna be hard mustering up my will to excel at school again.” Frankly, you need to be prepared for the fallout then – which may mean fewer choices of colleges, less Fin Aid, etc.</p>
