<p>The problem with this approach is that you won’t even have any grades at the time you apply. You apply in the Fall (apps due 11/30), and at that time you are still in your first semester at community college and don’t have any grades yet. Even though you can update your Fall grades before decisions are made, you’ll only have 1 semester and the people making the decisions may feel that they don’t have enough information about you yet.</p>
