<p>Of course they will release the SEMESTER grades when asked, you have to count on every school seeing your grades in the January/early Feb timeframe for first semester of senior year. Our school does not release quarter grades, though. The OP can ask her guidance counselor when first quarter/semester grades would be available to colleges to be sure. Since ED & EA decisions are typically available around December, if only semester grades are released then the acceptance decision is made before the grades are available.</p>
