<p>My school doesn't issue grade transcripts for every year or every semester. what did you submit? can I submit my official final 'A' level results in place of a complete transcript?</p>
<p>screwitlah you are from singapore rite
which school
did you apply early
well i dont know anything abt A levels but i think if the final results are available they will be enough</p>
<p>Yes. Send your O's and A's.</p>
<p>I submitted everything including my common test, promo and prelim result slips. I'm sure they will accept just the A Level cert.</p>
<p>At my school we have exams twice a year and we get report cards three times a year. If you need a transcript they print out all these grades as well 'O's and 'A's with a short explanation about the grading system at the school. Maybe if you ask your careers counselor you can get a similar sort of thing</p>
<p>You've completed A lvls already?
Then i suppose you should send your final results.
But remember that they want transcripts for 4 years not just your final year. Report cards (if you had those) should do. Or at the very least, O lvl results too.</p>
<p>i only sent my 'A's and 'O's, and my school profile.</p>
<p>my school profile (class of 05) explicitly states that a "transcript" includes just grades + recommendations using the schools template, the latter which are superseded by recommendations using commonapp's/(-insertschoolhere-) template.</p>
<p>i didn't even have to send in my official CCA record. thank God for that.</p>
<p>i really have no idea why anyone would want to send year-by-year grades. for singaporeans, that's tantamount to suicide. perhaps your secondary school rank was favourable, but if you were in even a semi-competitive JC, your grades should be shot to hell, thus affecting the college's computation of your GPA. anecdotally, i remember being ranked in the ~5% during a mid-year for GP with a raw score of 71, i.e. barely a A2. it's no mean exaggeration to say that many students who end up with 4As+ would never have scored a single A for an internal examination. Our entire approach to marking is different; we (my JC at least) grade to fail.</p>
<p>Lastly, please make sure there's a note explaining your courseload. We take the SINGAPORE-CAMBRIDGE A-levels, administered by UCLES, which are significant harder to score on than the british A-levels. I assume that colleges will already either internally have enough insight to automatically make this differentiation... or not care at all. Nevertheless, I doubt that it'll hurt.</p>
<p>Hope this helps. Good luck with your apps.</p>
<p>hahaha, okay thanks guys. serf I especially trust your school's way of doing things, given your school's record of sending people to the Ivies. xD</p>
<p>and oh, yep, it states damn clearly on the O and A level certs that it's the Singapore-Cambridge UCLES administered exams. heavyweight stuff, lol</p>
