Final Year Grades on Common App

[Anonymous]

MCPS records semester grades but not final year grades on the SGGR. Is that the same as the transcript? Common App requires both semester and final year grades. Does the same grading policy apply? So if a student gets an A in Semester 1 and a B in Semester 2, on a 4-point scale, is the final year grade an average (3.5) or rounded up (4.0) in keeping with MCPS policy?

MCPS only has semester classes. They don't calculate grades for the entire year.

That makes zero sense. Not all classes are year-long classes, even in school systems that don't generally do semester-long classes.

No, a final grade for the class. In MCPS, high school classes are each one semester, not one year.

Common app has different ways of filling out you select semester

Common App instructions clearly state that you should leave the final grade blank if there is no final grade.
