Luptior Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) I see most programs' deadlines are on Dec 1, but due to school's calendar, finals for next semester are scheduled after that. Nervous about the application now because my current GPA is relatively low. I plan to choose some courses which might be easier to get a higher grade for next semester to alleviate GPA a little bit. Can I still submit them after the DDL? Will that affect the result? Edited May 4, 2017 by Luptior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Some schools may consider your application incomplete and thus not review it if you don't have everything in, including the transcripts, by the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I submit the transcript without the Fall semester's transcript the application will be considered as incomplete? And I think almost all US college's final week is scheduled later Dec. 1.

And I think almost all US college's final week is scheduled later Dec. 1. If you submit the most recent transcript available by the deadline, they'll have to accept it as is. With Dec 1 deadlines, the majority of schools will not have their fall grades posted, and I'm sure that's what the school is expecting. You could try and submit updated transcripts if they allow it, but I agree that you should be sure your application is complete by the deadline.

Bioenchilada Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 In my experience, schools don't really look at your senior year grades much, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
