  Regular Decision (February 1) candidates must submit the same as above plus grades from the first marking period of the senior year. (A copy of your report card is acceptable.) Regular Decision applications may be delayed until grades from the first marking period are received.
• Seventh-semester transcript. All first-year applicants must submit this for review by the Admissions Committee as soon as it is available.
