<p>In Canada, universities almost always use only grade 12 (sometimes 11) marks in their admission decisions, and after reading through posts, I have found that this is definately not the case in the US admission process.
This has made me doubt my ability to transfer to an American uni after my freshman year at a Canadian uni since my grade 11/12 marks were the only marks that were high
Grade 9 average: ~85%
Grade 10 average ~90%
Grade 11 average ~93%
Grade 12 average ~96%</p>
<p>So does that grade 9 average REALLY hurt my chances at top schools in the US?</p>
