That said, most schools do not advertise this, and if you ask them, will not say that they will. Another reason to apply before your second semester grades post, is that it gives you time to get all of your documentation together, so that once schools receive your second semester grades they can immediately review your application. If you wait until your grades post to apply, they have to make sure they have various pieces of your application before they send it off to the review committee. Another little-known fact is that for transfer apps the admissions decision is generally up to the Dean of Admissions, and the application does not go to a committee. There are at least 2 schools in the top 10 that I know of who do this.DroitFemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14863980951767167225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26108392.post-1147387253645533112006-05-11T18:40:00.000-04:002006-05-11T18:40:00.000-04:00Thanks for the post!

Most schools make it clear that they WILL <B>NOT</B> look at your application until it's complete--this includes your final grades which might not be out until the middle of the summer.<BR/><BR/>I know you talked about that a bit, but are you saying that applying early is good because they'll sometimes accept you on one semester's grades, or are you just saying AS SOON AS YOU CAN after your grades come out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
