Would a mid-year update be looked down upon?

<p>Most top schools like to get some kind of mid-year report telling them what you’ve done since you applied, what your grades were, etc. UCLA, however, is not most schools. Would sending them a letter put a red flag on my application? I was not asked for supplemental information, so I’m thinking they really don’t want anything.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>most schools don’t do that…i have a feeling only private schools like to.</p>

<p>i applied to RPI, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, and 3 UCs…only Northwestern wanted a midyear report. GT explicity said to not send any transcripts or additional information until they asked. the UCs do the same thing.</p>

<p>They won’t look at it? Just like they won’t look at letters of recommendation. It has no bearing on your application at all.</p>
