School called asking for grade 9 transcripts; others did not

Applying to College

<p>I moved from the US to Canada after grade 9. I got credit for rough equivalents of my courses done in the US. (Where I live, HS starts officially from grade 9.)</p>

<p>Princeton has called/emailed a few times asking for the grade 9 transcript. Other schools have not. We're sending it out tomorrow to the other schools; is it too late now? It took a while to retrieve. </p>

<p>I'm wondering why there is such a discrepancy, especially given that Princeton doesn't look at freshman grades. I wonder if the other schools (HYPennColumbia) didn't feel it necessary.</p>

<p>Bump?</p>

<p>They may not be looking for the grade or gpa but for specific courses like algebra 1 or bio. Here, many kids take those in 8th grade and they have to make sure they appear on the high school transcript.</p>
