Secondary School Report QUESTION

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>The Secondary School Report asks for a transcript with:
1. Subjects taken, year taken, and grades: Since many grades are not available until after decisions are made, please send predicted grades (if available).
2. Subjects failed or repeated
3. Subjects in progress
4. Test results, such as SAT, ACT, or AP; or any external examinations, such as International Baccalaureate, A Levels, French Baccalaureate, or CBSE, that are required for entrance to universities in your country. (Please note that
these results do not substitute for official score reports.)</p>

<p>My question is because of #4. The College Board isn't supposed to submit my SAT scores? How can I get an official copy of that then?</p>

<p>THANKS IN ADVANCEE!</p>

<p>What it’s asking for is for your school to send a copy of your test scores. In addition, you are supposed to send your scores through collegeboard.</p>

<p>This simply means that you can’t just send your scores through your school; you have to get CB to do it too.</p>

<p>And how does my school sends a copy of my test scores?</p>

4

<p>My school has a card with records of all of my test scores. I’m not sure if your school does something like that, so you’ll have to check with your counselor.</p>

You DO have to submit them via College Board’s score reporting service. I don’t think they care that much about your school submitting test scores (mine didn’t.</p>

<p>EXACTLY! That’s what I was wondering, if MIT really cared about test scores sent from my school because I already submitted them via College Board’s score reporting service. If they did care, how do I send them from my school?</p>

<p>Many schools put a student’s scores on the transcript. If your school doesn’t, there’s not really a need to worry about it.</p>

<p>I suspect they ask for a transcript with test scores so they have a semi-official source for scores (that is, a non-you source) in case your official College Board score report is delayed.</p>

<p>Thanks, Mollie</p>

<p>By the way, do I have to write my name on the envelope for the mailing of my recommendations and Secondary School Report?</p>

<p>The Secondary School report is mailed to MIT by the School counselor, and the letters of recommendations are mailed to MIT by the teachers who wrote them. Your role is to be helpful in this process: address the envelopes, put stamps on them, and write in the upper left corner of each envelope the name and address of the individual who is sending the information. There is no reason for your name to appear.</p>
