common app: no 12th grade year classes needed?

some of the schools for s20 require listing all classes taken and grades on the common app.

we’re sort of confused on a few things: like why they don’t ask for the classes being taken senior year? I thought that was important to show . . . but there’s no grades so far so they don’t want to know the classes. Are we getting that right?

and grades: kid’s school gives an A- . . . . but counts this as an A which equals a 4.0. So - on common app - he puts down a 4.0 for an A-??

thanks; first time with this for us both.

They do; it’s under the Current Year section.

He lists an A- as the grade and he lists the GPA that is on his transcript.

If he is applyimg RD or is deferred EA or ED there is usually a requirement to submit first semester grade 12 results when available.
