<p>Hey Canadians!</p>
<p>I was wondering if a school transcript of Grade 10-12 is enough for my applications.
British Columbian official transcripts do not record grade 8 or 9, although Yale wants 4 years total (probably with grade 9).</p>
<p>To students already admitted: what grades did your transcript include?</p>
<p>Also, anyone can input as to what their province records in the transcript.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>In Alberta “high school” is also considered from grade 10-12, but I think the official Dept of Education does keep records of grades at least going back to grade 9 (maybe earlier…I think it was Alberta Ed anyway…might have been my city school board though…) so when I requested my transcript from my guidance office I just specified that I wanted grade 9 marks to be included.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I’m guessing you could somehow contact your school board or your junior high and get a transcript from there to include with your senior high marks? Or, contact Yale’s office, since you can’t be the only student facing this issue.</p>
<p>Ah ok thanks!
I’d rather not report grade 9 actually, so we will see.
Yale is really slow on responding 
I’ve tried before.</p>
<p>Did Penn ever specify last 4 years? I know on the commonapp it says 3 years so I’ll have to ask around.</p>
<p>Just ask your counselor/principal to take care of it. Even if your high school doesn’t record 4 years of transcript, your counselor can simply write a statement of explanation. Would Yale really take Gr.9 into great consideration?</p>
<p>Ok cool I got a response already. Basically, they said don’t worry about it and let the counselor quickly explain that records only go from 10-12.
Sounds good to me & thanks everyone 
I guess they are very understanding of internationals.</p>
<p>Lol that’s good =D</p>
<p>My average will be higher than my gr 9 one.</p>
