<p>Ok here's a brief unique thing about me, it's probably bad. I transferred high schools in the middle of my junior year (currently) to a private christian high school with only 56 kids in the graduating class. The grading at the new private school is much harder and uses a more college oriented GPA scale (4.0=93+, 3.7=90-93, etc.) My old high school, which was public, used 4.0=90+, 3.0=80+, etc. What are colleges going to think of that? will they take into consideration my private school is much harder grade wise?</p>
<p>Also, since I transferred mid-junior year, will colleges see both high school transcripts?</p>
