Question for any current student/former UM applicant or parent/alumni…my S applied EA in October, we are OOS. First semester grades won’t be out until early Feb., but first quarter grades are out and he did very well (note: h.s. is on block scheduling, 4 classes per quarter, AP or Honors usually 2 or 3 quarters long) …Q1 grades 1 A+ (reg business class), 2 A’s (AP and Hons) and one B+ (AP)…should he email Admissions just to share that info or ask if they want HS counselor to confirm? Will they take those grades into account AT ALL as they consider his EA decision? Thanks!
