Canadian Student - Question Regarding Transcript (Applying to U.S. Universities)

<p>Hi, I'm a secondary school student in B.C., Canada. Here, our transcript only displays grades for courses that we took in grades 10 to 12 (sophomore to senior years). </p>

<p>I understand that universities in the U.S. want to see all four years of high school. Would I have to supply a four year transcript (I'd have to get a special one printed) or would American universities only look at my 3 year transcript?</p>

<p>I'm asking because my 1st year was not my best and I had a few B's that scar my record.</p>

<p>i’m from burnaby and we’re allowed to request a transcript from 8-12 or 10-12… did you ask your counsellor? what school do you go to? that way, some past students will give insight.</p>

<p>EDIT: Did not see that you can get a special one. Sorry, but just because Canadian universities only look at recent grades, it doesnt mean we get any special treatment. you’re going to need one with 4 years at least of high school…</p>

<p>I think I might have asked my counsellor but I went to see her so many times in the past month and I forgot what exactly she said. On second thought, no I didn’t ask…</p>

<p>I go to Gleneagle Secondary School.</p>

<p>Thanks for your answer, basketballbabe13.</p>

<p>Yes, I think I was told that it can be added when sending your transcript to the U.S. I must clarify with my counsellor though…</p>

<p>If anyone has any experience in this please drop a reply. Thanks.</p>
