My counselor has already submitted his evaluations of me through the Common App but he didn’t send my 9th grade transcript. Will this affect my applications in any way ? (I’m applying to Bates, Middlebury and Colby). I’m from Vietnam and here, high school is from grade 10 to 12 instead of from grade 9 to 12 like in the US.
You would have to ask the colleges you are applying to directly. Some, but not all, colleges are flexible about 9th grade grades.
If colleges do need grades from year 9, there’s an “optional report” on the Common App platform made specifically for this purpose: to allow counselors to submit updates or additional documents that they forgot to submit with the initial school report. Colleges may also invite you to email or mail them the relevant documents directly.
