[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is one (aming dozens) explainations of how middle school grades are irrelevant to college admissions.  I picked it because it is the simplest explanation.   There are many more if you care to look.

From the article:

"... Do Colleges Consider Middle School Grades?

Middle school grades play no direct role in college admissions.

Admissions committees are exclusively concerned with a student’s performance in high school, focusing on factors such as:

Academic achievements in high school: This includes GPA, class rank, and rigor of coursework.

Extracurricular involvement: Sports, clubs, volunteer work, and other activities pursued during high school.

Personal statements and essays: Colleges value essays that highlight growth, goals, and character development during high school years.

Letters of recommendation: Teachers and mentors from high school provide insights into a student’s academic and personal attributes.

The absence of middle school grades in these considerations makes it clear that they are not a factor in the admissions process. Even the most competitive institutions do not request or evaluate grades from sixth, seventh, or eighth grade...."[/quote]

They are talking about regular middle school grades. Not the ones that actually go on your GPA. The high school classes taken in middle school will affect your GPA. You don’t want to be getting C’s or below in them. [/quote]

If you get a C in middle school courses, you just expunge those grades.

Colleges don't look at your kids classes for high school credit in middle school, no matter how much you say you want the middle school grades to count.

They don't count and colleges don't care about those grades from middle school.

The colleges don't even look at them.[/quote]
