Middle School grades?

<p>Ok, so I have 11 year old school system. Those 11 years include Elementary, Middle, and High School; </p>

<p>Years 1-4: Elementary School;
Years 5-9: Middle School;
Years 10-11: High School;</p>

<p>From what I've seen so far, only High School grades matter, don't they? If so, it means that I will send my grades only from 10th grade.
Also!
The school year starts in September 15 so I guess my question would be should I ask my counselor to give me my high school transcript as soon as I finish 10th grade?
Thanks...</p>

<p>I’d ask your guidance counselor what to do. They’re more knowledgeable on how your school system works than we are.</p>

<p>No. That isn’t an option. I attend a school in non-english language speaking country so in my school except two english teachers noone even can’t speak english. Because I thought that I will change my residency I transfered to another school. Later, I attended a very good school. I was like a small fish in big aquarium; however, now I am a big fish in small aquarium.
So I think that the “high school transcript” means only 10th year grades so far, right?
However, the Penn-State Park wants grades from 3 years irregardless of whether it is a high school or not. How about JHU?</p>

<p>High school in the United States is 4 years.</p>

<p>I would contact whoever at each school reviews international applications. Odds are that they’ve seen apps from your country and would have some better guidance for you.</p>

6

<p>yeah. I will soon. As a matter of fact, (from their web-site)

Nothing says about Middle School grades. </p>

<p>

so what’s your point? I am NOT in the US.</p>

<p>I think she meant that since HS here is 4 years and you’ll only have one or 1.5 year of grades when you apply, they may ask for another year worth of grades, but none of us know what they’ll want</p>

<p>

that “another year” will put them into Middle School grades which obviously aren’t required.</p>

<p>here what I found:</p>

<p>

The US 9th, 10th, and 11th grades are High School. So “equivalent” is my School is 10th grade and 11th(at the end).</p>

<p>Or, you could interpret the quote above to mean that your transcript needs to include your last four years of schooling, corresponding to 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades in the American system. In your case, that would be 8th, 9th and 10th, and then 11th (at the end). I think you need to contact Admissions and ask them what they want. That’s the only way you’re going to be sure you have the right answer to your question.</p>

11

<p>But 8th and 9th grades aren’t High School–they are middle school. Sending middle school grades to colleges? Uh…but it’s ridiculous!</p>

<p>I will contact them soon. But it’s very expensive.</p>

<p>Why don’t you try emailing the Admissions office first? That’s free.</p>

<p>I wrote to them. Waiting answer in 5 months…</p>
