<p>My son attends a school that uses a block scheduling system. His mid-term grades will be out in about three weeks. He is doing very well (all A’s right now with two honor’s and one AP class). Last semester he got a B+, B, and B- (Honors Physics II, AP American Lit, AP Calc AB). He had surgery during that semester and missed 5 days (which equates to 10 since it is block-scheduling) which really impacted his grades (as well as the fact that it was a very difficult semester for him emotionally as this was an athletic injury which closed some doors and ended some long-held dreams). So…question is…will schools to which he has applied RD take this semester’s mid-term grades into consideration when making admissions decisions and should we have them sent?</p>
<p>Good question. My kids are on block scheduling also.</p>
<p>I believe that when my son applied, he projected his grades. I don’t think that he is required to send in his final grades as part of admissions process. I think they are only required to send in the final transcript once it is complete at the end of senior year and they have been admitted.</p>
