I believe Ellemenope’s idea should work. And as long as your school doesn’t put a limit on the official transcript (and hopefully, the mid-year transcript), you should be ok. The mid-year report is really not that important. Colleges just want to make sure that you didn’t catch a case of senioritis… as long as your senior grades didn’t drop off; and you didn’t drop your calculus class for intermediate golf.

Some of the schools here don’t even give out mid-year grades… hence no mid-years report. It didn’t seem to matter with the colleges.

My concern is that even if your counselor fill in the 5 copies of school reports, he may not have anything personal to say about you. So basically you are disadvantaged by not having the service of a good college counselor.

You can compensate for this by submitting great teacher’s recommendations (let’s hope the school doesn’t put a limit on that too). Seek out teachers who know you well and like you… who has the skills to write great personalized recommendations, and ask them to write to the colleges on your behalf.

Good luck on your application.
