<p>Took ALG 1 in middle school for high school credit, so its on my transcript as a 93 B (so close!), but it brings my GPA down a significant .4 points. Difference between rounding to a 3.8 from a 3.78 or rounding down to a 3.7 from a 3.73. May not make a huge difference, but visually it looks alot different to me, (consider a 690 vs. 710 SAT score, Big Difference?). Not sure if I should just go back and remove it from my transcript or if that would look strange to have just an A in ALG 2 my freshman year with NO high school ALG 1 Grade.</p>
<p>If you can remove it from your transcript, and doing so will help your GPA, go ahead. It’s not at all uncommon to have completed algebra I before high school.</p>
<p>However, in many cases, it will make little or no difference, if the college recalculates GPA or just holistically looks at your transcript and ignores pre-9th-grade stuff.</p>
<p>In our area, everyone takes Alg I in 8th grade, so that grade is never reflected on HS transcripts. I can’t imagine an Ad Com would look at a grade from middle school–many don’t look at your freshman year grades either–or that they would punish you for a high B even if they did. In any case, they probably frown on transcript manipulation a lot more.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. It’d be nice if they got rid of my pre-freshman grades I have a 3.73 UW total but without two B’s from middle school it’s a fair bit higher ≈ 3.85. Our schools on a 6 pt (94+ is “A”) and I’ve never gotten lower than a 90, so I’d have a 4.0 at a 10 pt school. I suppose the rational is they adjust our class difficulty accordingly but that BS.</p>
