When should I submit my midyear report on the Common App?

Hey everyone, I'm a bit confused about when to submit my mid-year report on the Common App. Does anyone have advice on when this should be submitted and if there are any potential consequences of submitting it late? Thanks in advance!

Midyear reports typically include your first semester (or second trimester) senior year grades and should be submitted by your high school counselor after those grades become available. The timeline for submitting the midyear report varies depending on your school's academic calendar and when your grades are posted.

Generally, you should aim to submit your midyear report as soon as possible after semester grades are finalized, ideally around late January or early February. Keep in mind that the deadline for midyear reports might be different for each college you're applying to, so it's important to be aware of each institution's specific requirements.

To avoid any potential consequences of submitting your midyear report late, it's a good idea to communicate with your high school counselor about your college application deadlines and request that the reports be sent in a timely manner. Most colleges will understand if there are delays due to school administrative procedures, but consistently late documents might negatively impact your application process.

If you're worried about your midyear report being late, you can reach out to the admissions offices of the colleges you're applying to and let them know about the situation. They may be able to advise you on the best course of action and may be more lenient or understanding if you've communicated proactively.

Good luck with your applications!
