Can strong LOR's offset lack of course rigor?

It does not matter whether you went to 9th grade at a middle school or another high school, your school will have to submit a transcript from the school where you attended 9th grade.

you wrote in the reverse chances thread:

GPA, Rank, and Test Scores
*Unweighted HS GPA: 90/100
*Weighted HS GPA: 92/100
*Class Rank (WEIGHTED): Was last in top 25% but is now better (unknown)
*ACT/SAT Scores: N/A, test-optional

your unweighted GPA of 90 is a 3.7

93 is a 4.0 (again you will need a copy of your school’s profile to see what they consider a 4.0 to be.

You will have 2 sets of grades and transcripts for evaluation -1 from your current school and 1 from the school where you attended 9th grade.

again, the more selective the school, the less they are lookin at weighted GPAs
