mid year report: how will it affect me?

[cc411]

<p>From what we have seen here on CC in the past, it seems that most (all?) applicants who were not invited to interview for one of the two big scholarships (full and half) were asked to send a mid year report. </p>

<p>The requests will come out some time in February- just send in the grades as soon as they are available. Send either a copy of your report card or a transcript. </p>

<p>No one knows for sure how much those grades will affect you. Some here on CC reported that their grades went down but they were still accepted. This questions comes up often here so use the search function if you want to find previous discussions about mid-year grades.<br>
Here’s one:

<p>Your question is also asked on the FAQ page of USC Admissions but the the answer doesn’t really give us an exact answer:</p>

<p>

How do the grades I earn during my senior year of high school factor into USC’s admission decision?
Generally, for the purposes of admission into USC, we review an applicant’s coursework from grades 9 through 11 for admission into our fall freshman class. We may, however, request 7th semester grades (12th grade, fall semester) before making a final decision. Those students from whom we require 7th semester grades will receive letter requesting this information if we need it.</p>

<p>Once admitted, all students are required to submit an official copy of their high school transcripts in order to verify their graduation dates. Students’ transcripts will also be reviewed to ensure that they have maintained a continued level of academic achievement. A serious downturn in a student’s senior year could result in the rescinding of an admission offer.

<p>That all being said, imho, you will be FINE with one B.</p>
