[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges do see high school courses that were taken in middle school. I have seen the transcripts sent to colleges for my kids and they have included Honors Algebra I, Honors Geometry, and their world language. They are also included in the cumulative GPA, unless a parent requests that they be expunged within the time limit.

Sorry, meant to say that those courses were taken in middle school and still included in the high school transcript sent to colleges.

So even if they are expunged they are on the transcript but not factored into the cumulative GPA?[/quote]

No, they are not on the transcript if they are expunged prior to enrollment in HS.   If you choose not to expunge, the college does know when the student took the class and if the C or whatever is in 7th or 8th grade - it does not count as much as if the grade was in junior year or senior year.  They will see 4 or so years of grades after it and weigh the old grade accordingly.

The main reason I would suggest expunging a grade for a student in MS is if you think he/she needs to take it again to make sure his/her foundation in that subject is solid.  [/quote]

Sorry, I missed a phrase in my head.   See above for edit.[/quote]
