Does UMich look at first semester senior year grades?

My son’s school is based on semester grades and not quarter so they would only have been updated for his Regular Admission applications by way of the mid-year report. UM is his first choice school. He had the registrar at his school send his updated transcript (which contains first semester grades) to the admissions office. It has to be officially sent from the school. Interestingly, my S had a third recommendation from a Dean of another College (from a summer program) sent to UM and 2 other schools. He received the receipt post cards, that were sent, back from the 2 other schools but not UM. I’m convinced that they are inundated with information and probably did not receive his first quarter grades. However, he feels better knowing he tried and if he is deferred (God, I hope not!) they will see his mid-year report.

I hope this helps. Good luck to all.
