GCLawmom, Thanks. Can I ask if you had the updated transcript mailed physically to admissions snail mail, or did the counselor send via email to admissions (did you send to your S’s admissions officer directly?). Since my S’s high school is block schedule, they only formally update GPA on semesters. Frustrating to hear they may not take into account a positive trend with a rigorous schedule senior year, as performance now (closer to start of college) should matter just as much (if not more) than their grades as freshman and sophs. As you said, can’t hurt to send, S will email admissions today and follow up accordingly.
Best of luck to your S, and congrats to him on a great first quarter! :)
