Do Medical Schools Require Senior Midyear Grade Reports

Some of them encourage you to update your file, while some of them prefer you do not contact them until a decision has been made (ie, they won't consider any updates.) I do not think any specifically REQUIRE you to send midyear grades, but I know several require you to submit a final transcript after graduation if you've been accepted (before they will allow you to matriculate.)

 

last year NYMC sent a letter or email asking for the fall semester grades once they were out

 

SUNY Downstate sent out a similiar letter (requiring Fall grades to be sent).

 

vandy asked me for a grade update last year, but i think it was for scholarship consideration and unrelated to admissions. bottom line: work fall semester, blow off the spring (but still pass!)

 

wow, I've never heard of a school discouraging you from updating them or anything. which schools have you heard this about?

 

penn state said not to update in the hold list letter....i'm doing it anyway
