Good Idea to send Summer Grades?

<p>I attended a summer program at an Ivy and took two humanities courses (English and philosophy). I'm not sure if I should send in my transcript however because I earned an A in one course and a B+ in the other. I feel like sending this college transcript in will only damage my application overall. In addition, I planning to major in finance, math, or econ, so my grades in these courses wouldn't really help me anyway. </p>

<p>Should I avoid sending in my grades in these courses? If so, is it alright if I say I attended the summer program on my college app? I'd appreciate any advice from students who've taken college coursework in high school.</p>

<p>Personally, I find that kind of stupid. Why are you trying to superimpose parts of your application over others? Who cares that you got an A and a B+? Send it in. Be proud of what you’ve done and don’t worry about what the adcom thinks. Besides, you’re likely to answer “Summer activities” on at least one supplement. Give it a try. </p>

<p>I sent in my Multi transcript to Stanford with an A-. I got in.</p>

<p>You are obligated to send official transcripts from every high school and college that you have attended. Period. This is part of your academic history now.</p>

<p>What happymomof1 said. Besides, if the schools you’re applying to know the program gives out grades for the courses, but suspiciously, none are in your application, they’d likely assume the worst.</p>

<p>The main reason I’m asking is that I know someone who decided not to send in their college transcripts. He earn a D in a college courses (that was actually a grad-level class) and felt that the grade would ruin his otherwise stellar record. When he sent in his common app, he didn’t list the courses on his app and didn’t send in a transcript of it. I’m not sure if that’s legal or not, but he still got accepted to a top 20 school.</p>

<p>I realize my situation is very different, but grades are the weakest part of my app. My UW GPA is between 3.75 and 3.8. I have an upward trend and have taken 12 AP courses (6 in junior year alone), but I still don’t want grades to drag my app down. I get that the transcript is part of my academic history, but I really wish it wasn’t.</p>

<p>You have to send it in. If you don’t, you might regret it a few years from now if they perform an audit using the National Student Clearinghouse and find out you didn’t submit your transcript and kick you out or take away your degree. There’s no guarantee that’ll happen, of course, but it’s a very real possibility.</p>
