[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For college applicants, which transcripts are provided to the colleges - from as far back as 9th grade?[/quote] Yes, upper school. I wish I could delete my son's less than stellar grades from 9th grade. I keep hearing that some schools don't look back at 9th grade. While they may not place a great deal of weight on 9th grade as long as there is an upward trend 10th grade and especially junior year and up, the competition is stiff when applying at highly selective schools. A lackluster year (9th grade) can be the kiss of death.[/quote] On the other hand, St. Albans does not publish class rank so a less than stellar 9th grade experience, followed by an upward trend culminating in very strong work in junior year and first semester of senior year, is less of a factor than it would be at a school that uses class rank and shares that with the colleges.[/quote]
