Official Transcripts ? totally lost... help me!

<p>I feel totally lost.... I knew I should have checked the requirements carefully at least a week ago..! Because now I am trying to meet the Dec. 1st deadline and I only have my SAT score submitted..</p>

<p>So, my question is,</p>

<ol>
<li>In BC system, the official transcripts only lists courses in grade 10 to 12. But the problem is, I moved to different high school in my junior year, so in my school they don't have my "official" transcript from grade 9. Should I call my former high school and tell them to send my grade 9 transcript? Or can my counsellor just attach my grade 9 final report card to the official transcript?</li>
</ol>

<p>I also changed my legal name in grade 11, so if (ever) my former school sends a transcript I am pretty sure it will have different legal name...(and sadly, due to their stupid mistakes, different birth country too!)
I just feel hopeless. Any suggestions?? I just hope that they will consider it "official" if my counsellor sends my grade 9 report cards with a comment on that.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>In the common app course listings, do you list courses according to the YEAR that you took it, or the grade level of the course? For example, I took Spanish 9 in my grade 10 year. Should I list the course in grade 9 section or grade 10 section?</p></li>
<li><p>Where does my counsellor send the official transcripts to? (I know it's a very basic question but I can't seem to find an address on their website. Is it through online?)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks!</p>

Call the admissions office and ask them most of these questions, they will have the answers to most of them, if you haven’t already done that. They’ll help you out! :)</p>

<p>What do you mean your current school doesn’t have copies? Didn’t they get them from the school when you transferred? My student transferred into a different high school at 10th grade and stayed until graduation. That school sent their grades 10-12 as well as what they had on file for 9th grade.</p>

<p>I agree with ARandomGeek. Call USC and ask. They take a lot of homeschooled kids so they are used to unusual situations and will have a better solution than any of us can give you.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
