<p>I submitted my application materials September-October and didn’t include my first-term grades because they weren’t available yet. I would think that they would have it listed under “Required Documents” on the application status check if it was mandatory to have the grades sent in. I did get to meet with an admissions representative last month and talked to her about submitting my transcripts. I wasn’t aware that they were asking for first-term grades, this is the first time that I’ve heard about it, so I asked if I needed to send in the mid-year grades as soon as they became available. She said that most of the time, students who are admitted EA are not required to submit their mid-year grades, only their final grades. However, deferred EA candidates are required to. I’ll take a look at the website again and see if I can find anything!</p>
