<p>I am Canadian, and our high school goes from grade 8 - 12.</p>
<p>if i send a transcript to say.. UPENN, would it show my grade 8 marks?</p>
<p>i understand that you americans, have 2 semesters?</p>
<p>we have 3 terms.. so would UPENN just look at my gpa instead?</p>
<p>as well, do they mostly look at our cumulative... or just one grade's gpa?</p>
<p>It will probably show 8th grade marks, however they will disregard them.
Most schools have the semester system, there are however a good amount of schools that do follow your trimester system. </p>
<p>UPENN will look at whatever is reported. Most of the time this will be:
All final grades
Weighted GPA
Unweighted GPA</p>
<p>in grade 8</p>
<p>for socials, i got </p>
<p>term 1 - 95
term 2 - 82 ( B!!!! (new substitute came in, gave us a huge project, my group didnt do anything, and i had to do it VERY last minute. teacher didn't do anything)
term 3 - 91</p>
<p>would they be able to see that B? urgg.</p>
<p>or for the transcript would they just see your FINAL grade?</p>
<p>Don't worry about how many years, or how many terms show. Penn has seen Canadian transcripts before.</p>
<p>And, frankly, if they are too stupid to figure out how to interpret your transcript, you don't want to go to that school anyway!</p>
<p>i don';t have any actual info for u, but i did rather enjoy the "you americans" comment :D</p>
