Mid-Year report submitted to schools that don’t require it

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

My counselor submitted my midyear report to a couple schools that don’t require it like UMich and UW. I am trying to see if theres a way for it not to be considered short of emailing the school and saying no to consider it. At this point it is in commonapp but the school has yet to download it. While I do understand that they will eventually get the end of year report it hurts my application overall slightly. Any advice would be appreciated

I think you are fretting over a non-issue. Schools that don’t require it likely won’t even look at it. But calling attention to the fact that you DON’T want them looking at it….???

I have thought about this situation somewhat extensively. In an ideal world, a high school would send to schools only after a family approes the send. The problem, however, is whether a college would question why they received grades from one student applying and not another - and would that level of “tailoring” actually hurt the high school/college relationship.

Addressing your question directly, drawing attention to the matter at hand would be every bit as bad as them seeing what was sent. I am sorry to say, but you need to leave things alone IMO.
