<p>I know my schools ask that you have a final transcript sent in as soon as possible (Emory says they can’t make a decision without it) but it seems like the rest of the schools with decisions on May 15 (Ivies, etc.) can’t possibly have time to review final transcripts in the short time they’d have them. My last final exam is on the 7th, and final grades probably won’t come out for a while after that. The earliest I can get a transcript to them is probably at or around the 15th.</p>
<p>Am I wrong, or do they go basically just off of first semester grades? Because I have a 4.0 for the first semester, but my second semester grades probably won’t be nearly as good.</p>
