Should I submit Q1 Grades

I’m applying to Stanford REA, which has an optional self-report for Q1 grades. Over the last 3 years, I have gotten a 4.0 UW which is shown by my submitted transcript, however this last quarter I got one A-. I’ve heard that Stanford wants to see Q1 grades even though they are supposed to be optional. Should I submit my otherwise straight As with one A-, or not submit anything and retain the 4.0 UW?

I think it depends on the class you got the A- in as well as the rigor of your other classes. All things being considered though, your grades are good enough to get in even with the A-. At this point you should focus more on the essays as those are what will separate yourself from the pack. Good luck!

I'm submitting my REA application to stanford tonight as well, I have a 3.92 UW and ~4.2 W
