<p>Midyear reports are required items for RD students, and I doubt the Ivies are going to read your file without them.</p>
<p>“wjb,Who do you think you are,investigative reporter?”</p>
<p>Nope, just a parent on the Parents’ Board, one who doesn’t enjoy being deceived. There’s a big hole in your story, cogit, one that puts your credibility into question. HYP require mid-year reports. Who sent yours after your ED acceptance? Should be an easy answer to that question. </p>
<p>ED is a binding contract. You knew that when you signed the ED agreement. Once your ED school accepted you, your college search was at an end. Period. Other students follow the rules. That you’re not happy with your decision does not exempt you from following them, too.</p>
<p>some girl Applied to an ED school, which was I think princeton, and got in. And then she applied RD again to Penn, just to show off and say that she got in (as u can tell she was a real *****). ANd then penn accepted her but found out she also got in RD. and now nobody gets in penn</p>
<p>^One Ivy sent me an email saying that my file was complete before I sent the mid-year report.How would you explain that?</p>
<p>Shortly after application deadlines pass, schools frequently advise students via e-mail or via the web that their files are complete. Those notifications are made BEFORE mid-year reports are due. Many schools don’t re-update after receiving the mid-years. Ivies included.</p>
<p>So, did you send your own mid-year report? How did you get around the requirement that the report be official?</p>
<p>wjb,I am telling you a true story.I want to tell you how I bypassed the mid-year report thingie but I won’t because any further clue will identify me.Get it?</p>
<p>wjb: Your RD applications will be automatically denied because your file is incomplete. Or you may be a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>cogito: It is kind of a mix of the former and the latter.</p>
<p>wjb,You don’t understand the process.Colleges send complete emails only when the file is READY for review.Application with out mid-year reports are READY for review.Search the Ivy forums carefully.</p>
<p>cogito has already seen tales about HS that have colleges retaliating against them, for she’s read the thread about them on CC.</p>
<p>cogito, so you applied to a number of schools after signing the ED agreement, then…</p>
<p>Oh, my.</p>
<p>Have you been lying to your parents about your applications?</p>
<p>You are dead wrong, cogito. Those mid-years are required elements of your applications. But not to worry. You somehow sent them on your own.</p>
<p>You better hope no one on these boards figures out who you are. Your conduct is despicable.</p>
<p>International students in certain countries don’t file mid-years because their academic calendar is different. When we read students from schools in those countries, we mark them has having submitted their mid-year (and sometimes final) transcripts because their school year is over in December.</p>
<p>I decide all application matters without the help of my parents.</p>
<p>IOW, you’ve been lying to your parents?</p>
<p>Makes me wonder what else “was sent on your own”. OP, you might be a ble to pull this one off, but cheating will not take you far in life. A well-known politician’s career came to a halt recently because of cheating.</p>
<p>wjb yeah :I sent the mid-year reports in a legitimate way.Don’t worry, no one will ever know who I am.I am taking extreme care.</p>
<p>I am guessing that this student is international or from some school without a GC or with a GC who is not “schooled” in the process. Therefore, cogito can probably get whatever sent out whenever and doesn’t care about what happens to other students from the school nor have a GC who is aware of that issue.</p>
<p>One could think of this student as someone who didn’t have the benefit of understanding the process and made an honest mistake. OTOH, this is a student who seems to know A LOT about the process, at a very detailed level. So I don’t see any honest mistakes here. Unless, he wants to avail himself of (1)the option suggested above - contact the ED school, with counselor/psychologist backup that the ED application was under duress, BEFORE hearing from Harvard et al or (2) the option of withdrawing all outstanding applications and matriculating at the LAC.</p>
<p>Without exercising either of those options, I think we all just see an opportunistic individual, unconcerned with ethics of the situation.</p>
<p>^You couldn’t be more wrong.</p>
<p>Tell us why.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>cogitoergosum,</p>
<p>I don’t think that you understand the admissions process. </p>
<p>Unless your application essentially and grades by the end of junior year reads like you not only do you walk on water, but you have created the water whichthat you walk on (making you an automatic admit), most schools will want to see a mid-year report. The mid year report includes your 7th semester (1st half of senior year) grades. </p>
<p>If the school does not have the mid year report, the college doesn’t have to contact you, they will contact the GC directly to ask for the report. Just to add on to your scenario, college calls GC asking for transcript, GC apologizes to college and explains that the student has been accepted ED somewhere else, end of story.</p>
<p>Have you considered that your application status could be showing up as complete because as far as the school is concerned, they may not need any more information to make a decision concerning your application?</p>
<p>But jmmom (or Dean J), assuming the OP goes to a school with an “unschooled” GC, don’t colleges themselves demand certain safegueards with respect to transcripts? At our school, transcripts bear the legend that they’re “official” and they also have the school’s seal embossed on them. Is that kind of protection not required by the colleges themselves, or are they willing to take any old unofficial transcript?</p>
<p>Sybbie – I think you can speak to this, too.</p>
