He tried to switch the application to RD but doesn’t look like he can do that online.

I’ll take your word on that; I though it could be changed in MyMIT before submission, but I could be wrong.

If he wants to switch to RD, he can. Simply send an email saying “I would like to have my application considered for Regular Decision.” No long explanation is needed and nobody’s feelings will be hurt. It happens very frequently.

If he applies EA, the transcript needs to be sent in at that time. The GC will send an update after the grades are finalized. Personally,if he’s happy with the application and wants to apply EA, he should. I doubt the the first term grades will be what sends the applications from the reject pile to the accept pile, or vice versa.
