<p>Because of some personal problems I failed one time at 9th grade and forced start over at same grade.But somehow it doesn't mentioned and my transcript(not a sytem error, I double checked)the year I failed doesn't count as a year in system.Is it Ok to send this transcript and not mention about my failed class?
I'm also sure Mit can understand my context but I already have too much to mention at application I don't wanna get into family problems too</p>
<p>It doesn’t seems like lying but not sure its a good idea…
when in doubt tell the truth -M.T.</p>
<p>@KKTC,
If I understand you correctly, you repeated 9th grade, effectively taking it twice. Is this the case? If so, your transcript now includes your re-take of 9th grade and all subsequent grades. In my opinion, your school has handled your transcript very properly.</p>
<p>If you have any concerns, you could talk with the registrar at your school, but I don’t think you need to mention or reference anything that happened before your successful 9th grade year. MIT asks for your senior year transcripts and the transcripts for the previous three years.</p>
<p>You will need to submit your entire high school transcript. If you have re-taken a year of high school, then your transcript as reported to colleges will need to include all coursework, including the initial grade you received for failing a class.</p>
<p>You will need to disclose this information on your application. If you do not, then you risk the admissions committee rejecting you for failure to disclose pertinent academic information. This might qualify as a lie by omission, which, if found out after your enrollment, would potentially lead to your admission being rescinded.</p>
<p>If you have done wonderfully after repeating 9th grade, it might be an excellent story to tell. Why would you not be proud of it?</p>
<p>Thanks muchomucho this was really inspiring</p>

You got it half right, I repeated a grade but my transcript doesn’t shows it.Computer system doesn’t count the repated year, my transcript is same as a student passed all his grades.I was thinking about not mentioning it(there is no question asking about it)</p>
<p>@muchomucho and KKTC,
The key point here is that the student never submits the official transcript. It comes from the registrar of the school. Each school/district has its own policy about how it records the grades of repeated classes. Thus, some districts maintain the failing grades on the record as well as the eventual passing grade. Other districts record only the eventual passing grade.</p>
<p>When MIT asks for your official transcripts, the school registrar provides this. Talk with your school counselor. The MIT application doesn’t ask, “Did you ever fail a class?” I’m not sure why you’d want to disclose this, unless you want to make a full essay of it. If that’s what you want to do, the muchomucho’s suggestion applies. But it’s tricky, isn’t it? Because there’s some risk when you bring forward, without needing to, information about a weakness. Talk with your school counselor.</p>
<p>CalAlum is quite correct. An official transcript is exactly that: official. You should have little or no influence on how your school prepares it.</p>
<p>Thanks for answers, specially CalAlum.
PS:I don’t have a counselor, and my school won’t sent my form to mit.They just give me a official copy to send</p>
