does every single high school have to send a high school profile? what is on it? For example, if a student is one of the very few people who get 5s on an AP, or has an extremely high SAT score compared to the rest of the class, does it show on the high school profile?
<p>Yes, every high school has a profile. No, they dont address AP scores, but they will give average SAT scores. If you're exceptional for your high school, colleges will know. If you have a high SAT/AP profile and average GPA, they won't be impressed. If your rank is high, and your scores are, they will.</p>
<p>Every school's profile is different. Some profiles will show how many AP tests were given at the school and the score distribution such as how many 5's, how many 3's and above, or some other info. On the other hand, there might not be anything about AP scores on the profile. Almost any profile will, however, tell how many AP courses are available at the high school. You can ask the high school registrar to see a copy of your official transcript and the high school profile at any time.</p>
<p>TJ Profile goes something like this:
SAT Average:
GPA Range:
Class Size: 412
We do not give Rankings because we are magnet school
APs offered:
Post-APs offered:
Mentorship Opportunties:

<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>just out of curiosity what if you went to three schools. Two in korea and the last one, the current one, is in the US. How does my school profile work?</p>
<p>They will look at only your American school. If English is not your first language and your math/science is amazing, you will be cut some slack. However, you will compete with any Asians with scores that surpass many Americans, even when english is a second language.</p>
<p>I went down to my GC last year to ask for a copy of the school's profile. They looked at me with a blank stare and did not know what i was talking about. I explained it to them, then i went to the computer lab to print off an online article, i think it may had been from CC, and they told me they will get back to me. Never had.</p>
<p>icyhot: Try somebody in the main office or the registrar. The GC doesn't actually send it, but it would be weird if they didn't know about it. The registrar who tracks all of your grades on your transcript would be the person who sends it to the colleges.</p>
<p>ronlivs: International applicants are told that any material from their home country must be translated and that the applicant should include explanatory information about how the education and grading differs from American schools. (Of course, some colleges have students from Korea, and so they already know something about it.) However, this if for international applicants and I don't know if this applies to you. You might give the admissions office at the colleges a call. If you call or email, do it over the summer before they get busy.</p>
<p>Our records are kept somewhere downtown, not in the school, i mean our permanent records are here but i remember when i had to get something change on my record they had to pull my file from downtown and change it. I assume that's the place to ask the question?</p>
<p>our high school profile is posted on the school website. is it seen by colleges? because we have club numbers and stuff like that</p>
<p>our records are kept in a blue box under the white house</p>
<p>"does every single high school have to send a high school profile?"</p>
<p>do you mean send to the colleges? yeah i was wondering bout that too</p>
<p>Yes, usually your guidance counselor attaches the school profile with the guidance counselor recommendation. The guidance counselor recommendation also asks for a number of items about the school (usually found on the school profile). This way, schools will know how many academic and extra-curricular opportunities are made available to you.</p>
<p>would there be two school profiles on the college application if a student went to two different high schools in the U.S.?</p>
