Does USNA require a fall semester transcript?
Does USNA require a fall semester transcript?
So can someone clarify this issue of 7th semester grades? I have seen differing opinions on whether or not it is needed. My niece was not asked for her 7th semester grades. She contacted her Regional Director earlier this week to ask if there was anything else she could do to improve her application. They responded that nothing else was needed at this time (including 7th semester grades). Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Do they only ask if your earlier grades were not strong? We are just puzzled (and yes, I know, probably trying to read way more into it than we need to).Does USNA require a fall semester transcript?
Admissions told our DS they did not need his 7th semester grades, but would want to see his end of year grades to be sure calc and physics turned out satisfactorily.
Best for you to call them and ask them as only they can tell you.

Side note: She is very strong academically (3.95 GPA, ACT 33 math and 33 English, and has taken every AP class offered). She is disappointed because she is concerned they are not interested in her 7th semester grades because they have already decided she is "not in the running"....
D asked to send in hers. Not sure why? 3Q'd at USMA with LOE. Wouldn't that mean she is qualified at other SA's?
My niece did not receive this mass e-mail as stated above. In her case (as in falconchic88) her RD told her 1st semester grades were not necessary. I wonder how many candidates received this "mass e-mail"?This is a section copied and pasted from a mass email sent from my son's regional coordinator regarding the Jan 31 deadline:
"What the Deadline Does Not Apply To:
Your Medical Assessment does NOT have to be completed by January 31.
Your fall transcript does NOT have to be sent by the deadline (but please do send them as soon as possible)."
So, to me, this looks like they will eventually want your 7th semester transcript, just not by the Jan 31 deadline.
