I don’t KNOW if midyear reports will help, don’t know when they’ll be received, etc. But that’s why they ask for them, so they can SEE them and see how you’re doing. So - they’ll be getting those mid year transcripts soon, there is plenty of time for them to still be reviewed before decisions on 4/1. So, yes…they’ll “help”, if you’re moving up. How much? No one knows? Probably depends where you were in the “selection pile” at that point (IF your app has even been looked at yet!). It’s a tiny blip, but it’s there. I know my daughter is very anxious for her mid year reports to be taken into consideration also…she’s back to a 3.9 (4.9w) and her rank is improving too. But it’s hard to move around much at this point, and in a school her size. But her school had 100 kids drop out between Jr and Sr year (yikes). So her rank dropped precipitously because of course these were all the lowest students. Certainly an upward trend is better than downward. Good luck to you. TRY to stop stressing…do your best from this day forward. It’s out of your hands now. “It is what it is”. If you end up at your state school (like my D)…you’ll be a standout there, and you can excel and maybe get scholarships for grad school…??
