waitlisted but bad senior grades

This is what they say regarding additional materials:

“We are particularly interested in receiving new grade reports, information about new honors or awards, and updates on your activities. Of course, we would welcome any other information, too.”

It doesn’t sound like they are requiring grades, but will I be at an extreme disadvantage if I don’t send any? I got A’s and 1 B+ in all AP classes for mid-year, and given the rigor of my school, I can only go down from there. Especially when I didn’t have the incentive between midyear and when decisions came out to put in substantial effort to keep my grades tippy top. Besides, I spent a lot of time during those months finding and interviewing for a research position over the summer, which I am planning to address in my LOCI.

Any thoughts?
