<p>Yes, most (not all, but most) ask for your first semester grades (even if you don’t get them till after the application deadline).</p>

<p>Colleges see your 7th semester grades… after you get a decision.</p>

<p>It’s beneficial, but the amount that it really helps you is decreasing quite a bit due to the massive number of people deciding to use the early plans.</p>

Not always true, not even usually true. At least for me, they would not review my application until I sent in those grades. The midyear and so on reports are after the decision is made.</p>
