<p>Cornell won’t be able to see your semester grades as ED decisions are released in mid-December, before all that can be finalized. </p>
<p>There’s a good chance they’ll either request or be sent your quarter grades, though, so hopefully they’re good–I had the same question last year and the general consensus was that they DON’T look at quarter grades, but we were evidently wrong, since many of us with average midterm grades were pushed into the RD pile. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
