Hi! So, I'm currently getting my application materials ready for Harvard and I'm a little confused. Does Harvard require a mid-year report? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, Harvard does require a mid-year report for all applicants. The mid-year report consists of your most recent grades from the first semester or second quarter of your senior year. This report should be submitted by your high school counselor as soon as your grades become available. The purpose of this report is to allow the admissions committee to review your most current academic performance, which helps provide a more complete picture of your abilities and dedication to your academic work.
Keep in mind that the deadline for submitting the mid-year report may vary depending on whether you're applying during the early action or regular decision cycle. Make sure to check Harvard's admissions website for the specific deadlines as they may change from year to year. It's crucial to communicate effectively with your counselor to ensure they are aware of this requirement and prepared to submit the mid-year report on time.
Best of luck with your application!
