Hello Everyone,
I tried doing a search on this, but found limited information. I had a question about Fall grades. If you do well in the Fall semester and it raises your GPA, will this help you or do most schools have their decisions made by the end of December? Should you just forward a copy of your transcripts directly to the school?

Also, if you get an invite to interview, are they generally flexible on the time schedule? I work full time and I am a little worried about taking vacation days. I hate to push back interviews, but I may have to wait until after Jan 1to interview as that is when my vacation days reset. Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
 
If they haven't made a decision by the end of the semester, then you should definitely send them the update. Like if you get waitlisted or something, it could possibly help.
