<p>I know when I applied to college, schools required a mid year report for Sr year before they made a decision. Does the same apply for med school? I know they eventually get the grades but do they request them before making a decision?</p>
<p>If you have not yet received an offer of acceptance by the time your fall semester senior grades are available, it’s customary to send those grades (particularly if they’re strong) as part of a general update to the med schools you’ve applied to.</p>
<p>The med schools won’t send a specific request. In fact, you’re likely to go long stretches without hearing anything at all from them.</p>
<p>Sending good senior grades is one way to demonstrate that you’re still interested and that you’re a good candidate for med school.</p>
<p>Med school is kind of the opposite of undergrad. Undergrad colleges court the student. For med school, it’s the student that does the courting. The onus is on you to send any information that you think might tip your application into the interview pile–strong new grades, an award or recognition, a change of course schedule… but don’t pester the adcomm unduly. They’re busy people,</p>
