Does UMich look at first semester senior year grades?

My S was in the same boat. He applied EA. His weighted GPA is a 4.9 but his unweighted is a 3.7. We are OOS. He has 5 AP classes this year and had straight A’s first quarter. We called the admissions office and were told that for EA his application was already complete and that they would probably not be considered but to send them anyway. He sent them (by way of an updated transcript) directly to the admissions office (as opposed to having his guidance counselor upload them to the Common Application as a supplemental report under school forms-which you can also do). It may not matter but it certainly can’t hurt.

Every school is different, with some requiring first quarter grades for ED and EA.

Good luck.
