<p>I had a 2.0 in high school for some certain reasons, which I have a good explanation for. At community college I have approximately a 3.7 in 70 semester hours where I have taken Calc I and II, Physics w/lab, Chemistry w/lab, Elementary German I and II, Intermediate German I and II, and nearly all of the general education requirements I attend the University of Miami where I pulled a 3.3 with 15 semester hours for the one semester I was there. However, I had to leave due to something personal and the dean as well as the president said they are going to be writing me outstanding letters of recommendations to whatever school I wish to attend. I also have superior extracurricular activities, leadership positions held, president of clubs, and other significant letters of recommendations from professors and such. Do you think they will be willing to overlook my poor high school performance, and do you think I have a good shot for admission assuming I have good essays, etc? I have never had less than a B in college.</p>
<p>Probably not.</p>
<p>I can't imagine they would have any interest in your high school record. I could be wrong, of course. I would submit applications without your high school transcript and see what happens.
However, keep in mind that Dartmouth is a long-shot, and harder to get into as a transfer than as a regular applicant.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply. it says they require hs transcripts still for transfer. i wonder how much they will consider them though.</p>
<p>I would write a good narrative about your high school experience, then. People do like the "overcoming hardship" story, if it is genuine and not overplayed.</p>
