<p>So I know, especially when applying early decision, that colleges will sometimes request quarter grades or call the school to figure out what your current senior grades are. I was wondering, since my school isn’t the most organized place in the world, if it would be acceptable (or at least useful) to put the link and login information to my Powerschool account (Thing that shows all my current grades and a brakedown of each one). </p>
<p>Would this be a good idea or would it be looked down by the administration staff?</p>
<p>This sounds like a bad idea. The powerschool account is for you and your parents alone. Your guidance counselor can provide any grades requested by the college.</p>
<p>I agree completely.</p>
<p>Why not though? </p>

<p>Because adcoms aren’t interested in figuring out the specifics of logging into 10,000 different accounts. They want to do it in the way that they are used to - which is contacting the school in the usual way. They’re not interested in trying to figure out the ins and outs of whatever the heck your school’s unique system is.</p>
<p>Every word of what pizzagirl said is true and correct.</p>
<p>In addition, if you were my kid, I’d read you the riot act for giving even one second’s thought to giving complete strangers your password to anything, ever!</p>
