no grade check = reject guaranteed?
gilded umbra
welp no gradecheck for me
silk isle
omg no no no, no grade check it can go eitehr way
a small portion of admitted students get grade checks
that leaves a whole chunk of admitted students that don't get them
grade checks are simply progress reports for the people admissions officers need extra info on
I was also on the semester system. My counselor sent my inprogress grades instead
but i also am just an undergrad and don't know anything about admissions so take everything i say with a grain of salt. these are purely just my own observations because i was obsessed with it last year
hard finch
welp no gradecheck for me
same … and i had good ones
is there a chance they still ask for one lol

what would be your estimate of admission if u get a q1 grade request? like in general
is it just a slight boost to like 15-30% or is it more a toss-up at that point (~50%)
cuz ig if u were guaranteed to get in (e.g. IMO gold or smth) they probably wouldn't bother requesting q1 grades

I barely take this advice myself but there’s really no use in thinking about that
I’m gonna just act as though it means nothing
radiant yacht
true
idk im just hella stressed lol
i don't think it's fair to say it means nothing tho because it clearly means something
terse meadow
thats why i said im gonna act as though
its better to temper expectations, you would be less sad/more happy if no matter the outcome
terse meadow
good luck fam
radiant yacht

grade checks are just that the aos need extra info on you to make a decision. it can go either way. my observation is that it's pretty good but again, who knows. dont stress about it, because the more you think about it the more you're gonna obsess and look for other sources that validate your hopes and it ends up being an unhealthy spiral. so my advice is just to take it as, yes, this is a good sign, but thats all you should take it as. move on. you'll know in a few days

forest coyote
hmm i can dm u bc i dont want to like compare/post stats
winter tendon
Maybe they changed it and now if someone at your school needs a grade check then they’ll ask for everyone who applied
hard finch
wait no that would make sense because colleges admit in the context of ur school, and its easier to compare with ur schoolmates by having all of them send grades
like for example my school only sends 1 person to each ivy, and its a contest for the position almost
bright comet
Yeah also my school has 4 REA applicants - one whose counselor proactively sent Q1. The other 3 got requests. Maybe if they have it for one they want for the other
hard finch
colossal what about u?
terse meadow
I got one
to my knowlege im one of 2 REA applicants
in the range
not trying to disparage
but
a kid got in QB
so its possible i got one bc that kid might have got one ?

mine was zoom bc the interviewer asked it to be
i think the interview is meant to be sm who is relatively familiiar witht he geographical location
i talked abt food and stuff in my city, and my interviewer also is from the same area so natually makes it easier to communicate
and its optional + its hard to interview all the applicants
i thinks its hard to interview all 42k apps

brave heron
all those red triangles near the top are RD
the circle with the slightly higher GPA is also RD
and the circle with the lower GPA and SAT is REA
this guy is the only cautionary tale but his gpa is fried
alpine oxide
whats ur gpa scale out of?
brave heron
5.0
i think the max you can get is a 4.5-4.6 by junior year
unless you take like freshman APs
alpine oxide
ours is 6.1 😭
brave heron
well out of 4.0 but can reach 5.0 weighted
alpine oxide
obv u cant get that bc it would require an a+ in an ap for all classes
alpine oxide
well out of 4.0 but can reach 5.0 weighted
yeah thats for me too
brave heron
i have the A+ covered theres just no ap health class
and they force regular classes in freshman / sophomore years
alpine oxide
yeah my school is similar
a regular a+ is a 4.6, and my 5.35 puts me in the first decile
alpine oxide
i only know of one person with a gpa higher than me but that's not gonna stick for long bc ap calc

im just going in with the expectation of rejection lol
applying was just a moonshot

you're in state that probably means something

Greetings from Princeton University!
We are currently following up on our Early Action applicants and would like to request either official first quarter/marking period or unofficial “point in time” grades for the following student, (my name).
Please email this document directly to me at (Princeton admission assistant's email) and I will make sure it is placed in their file.
Regards,
(Princeton admission assistant)
it doesn’t really say much about anything so i would honestly just stop worrying abt the grade check
