Just a few quick questions. Thanks!

<p>Hi all. This may be a stupid question, but do colleges look at ALL your high school transcripts/grades during admissions? Or just the ones for the latest semester?</p>

<p>Also, does making any monetary donations truly help? (I'm not talking millions or anything, but maybe $1,000 a year or so.) I don't want to sound like a snob, but I'm hoping to improve my chances for admission as much as I can! Then again, arn't we all. Haha. </p>

<p>Also, do internships look good on an admissions resume?</p>

<p>That's about it. Any type of feedback would be much appreciated!!</p>

<p>They look at every high school grade you’ve compiled.
Monetary donations don’t look great unless you donate millions. You have to make huge contributions, 1000 dollars is loose change for Ivies.
Internships are great. They show you’ve taken initiative and you’ve got work experience to back up your stats.</p>

<p>Thank you very much! Ill save my money and apply for an internship instead</p>
