Question concerning the Secondary School Report for those taking a gap year

Applying to College
1

<p>Well, I basically decided to take a gap year so I decided to apply to colleges this year, but I have not encountered any problems so far with the exceptions of the Secondary School Report and the Mid-year report. The thing here is that I already graduated from high school, and the counselor who used to know me very well is no longer there. So I do not know how to turn in these forms, especially the Mid-year report one. I would really be thankful if anybody can guide me through (:</p>

<p>Also, if you can also spare your time into answering this other question: Which grade looks better on the application, a 97.1 (from a scale of 100) UW or a 101.05 W (I think that it would be from a 110 scale since you add 10 points to the 100 max. for every AP class)</p>

<p>Hello! I’m a gap year student too, so I think I can help. It would be just sufficient if you contacted your previous counselor (phone? email? it’s your call) and asked him/her to fill out only the Final School Report form. The adcoms would see your transcript and know that you’re on a gap year, so they’d understand.</p>

<p>Also, I think you should send your UW GPA. Quite frankly, every school calculates weighted grades differently, so the adcoms are more likely to pay attention to your unweighted grades more.</p>
