Canada - Which marks are sent to US colleges?

<p>For those students who live in Canada, when you apply to US colleges, which of your marks are sent in? </p>

<p>In Canada, if you apply to a Canadian university, they only send in your first term grade 12 marks I believe. But in the US, how does it work? Which marks do they send in? Grade 11? Grade 12?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Someone please help me on this!</p>

<p>Grades 9-12
(You have to send in your transcript)</p>

<p>What if the school you attended for gr. 9 is different than the one from gr. 12? In the province I live in, junior high is from gr. 7-9, and senior high is from gr. 10-12. Would the senior high have a copy of the gr.9 transcript?</p>

<p>Which marks do US colleges normally look at, though?</p>

<p>Usually the senior high will have a copy of your grade 9 marks. I know that my school does because we have IB classes, and at the beginning of grade 10 they sometimes have a few admin mess-ups where kids who got 50% in English 9 end up in IB English. The grade 10 teachers usually check your marks with you and they appear on the school transcript (but never count towards your average).</p>

<p>It's true that you have to send in a complete transcript of all classes taken from grades 9-12. Your current school should have this, even if you didn't attend there for all four years. Most U.S. colleges look at your grades for all four years. It isn't like Canada where only the most recent grades are considered.</p>

<p>yep...you definitely need to send in the grades from 9-12. While admissions offices look at all four years, they often weigh 10th and 11th grade more heavily than 9th grade. Also they would only see your first semester grades for 12th grade before they make their decision. You send in the rest of 12th year grade after you graduate.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I only sent in my grade 10-11 marks, along with my first semester grade 12 marks.</p>

<p>you need to send in 9-12, though they mainly focus on 11 and first semester 12.</p>
