How bad is my messed up transcript for my admissions chances?

<p>First, your user name won’t help. College wouldn’t like it.
Second, your transcript is not messed up. You were messed up. Be careful how you phrase things.
Third, straight As and a 2220 on the SAT don’t neccessarily go together. One would expect a higher SAT score from a straight-A student.
What you need to do is, in your applications, explain why your grades were so low in ninth grade and so high since then. If you can’t incorporate that into an essay, you can provide a separate note. Be sure you know each college’s policy on separate notes. Some don’t want them in the application envelope.
Also, if your standardized test scores (you should take the ACT, too) remain where they are, think about why and try to incorporate that in a positive way into an essay.</p>
