Of course, @jjknowles‌, that’s obvious and known by all. I “delicately” phrased post #5 because I believed (and still believe) there is a fair chance your GC did not provide the Mid-Year Reports on-time (or, possibly, at all) and is now attempting to “cover his (or her) tracks” by indicating that some of your target schools may soon want “updates.” Frankly, that’s the only reasonable explanation I perceive, because – had the first semester/Mid-Year reports been provided as scheduled – there would now, quite literally, be nothing to “update.”

Have you seen the “update” requests from the universities? Why are you sure your Mid-Year Reports were submitted on time? Have you received independent “admissions portal” confirmation from the schools? If so, that’s great – but it still is confusing, since there are no new formal grade reports to provide AND likely will be none by 31 March, when admissions decisions are rendered – but if not, my scenario may be correct. Clearly, “reading between the lines” is a skill worthy of development.
