<p>I currently am living in Sweden taking the IB diploma at Hvitfeldtska gymnasium here in Sweden and have a question with high school transcripts. At my old high school in Friendswood,Texas I attended Freshman and Sophomore years, and getting my old transcripts from Friendswood is painfully expensive (Since I am a two year Ex-Student) and is irrelevant with my IB course (I am taking the IB Diploma, so I do not have a GPA and class Rank).</p>
<p>Question- Would admissions absolutely need the old High school transcripts, or would the IB diploma ones sufficient.<br>
(absolutely- my application will be a severe disadvantage and/or totally disqualified)</p>
<p>The reason I am asking this question is because of the instructions on the Harvard FAQ's that I wanted to absolutely verify:
If you have attended more than one high school in the last TWO YEARS, you should have an additional School Report from the Common Application/Universal College Application submitted by your former counselor(s). -Harvard FAQ for common app
According to this, I would not have to send the transcripts and save myself $100. Is this the case? What do you guys think? I sent three E-mails to admissions and all I got was useless bureaucratic copy and paste answers. Anyone here with experience?</p>
