<p>EHS09: Apparently you are someone who cannot get a flawless transcript then? Despite the odd cases you see here and there, on the whole, you DO need close to perfect grades in order to even be considered. Don’t be fooled by people telling you of the “unimportance of transcripts”- that is such crap. Keep in mind that college courses are much more challenging than high school courses, and no college wants to accept a student that will most likely fail out.</p>
