<p>My sophomore summer I took Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry at a local CC in order to take AP Calc junior year. This summer (junior summer), I need to make up 2 P.E. classes at the local CC. I will/have made As in these classes.</p>
<p>Should I transfer these credits onto my transcript? It will lower my GPA and rank (currently rank 2). Or, should I wait until after I have applied to colleges to transfer the credits (P.E. is a grad. requirement)?</p>
<p>In addition, will colleges care if I skipped directly from Alg II to Calculus according to my transcript? Do they want to see that I took Pre-Calc/Trig, if I got an A in Calc?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>When you apply to college, the colleges will need official copies of your CC transcript. There really isn’t any reason to transfer the credits to your HS transcript.</p>
<p>However, if your HS requires that you transfer the summer P.E. classes so that they can count for graduation credit, then you will need to do that.</p>
<p>It won’t matter to the colleges that your HS transcript shows only Algebra II and Calculus. After all, they will be getting your CC transcripts as well.</p>

<p>I hate to encourage you to “play the game” but it seems unavoidable. I’m not taking certain courses until my last semester because my rank will be slightly higher by putting them off. To echo what’s above, you have to send in your CC transcripts to the colleges you’re applying to.</p>
<p>Have you asked the counselors at your HS exactly how the P.E. credits will be recorded, and whether they will actually enter into your GPA calculation? Sometimes transfer credits are just reported as pass/fail and have no effect on the overall GPA.</p>
<p>Since you’re not worried about transferring those credits to your next college, it shouldn’t matter if they are on your hs transcript or not (some colleges don’t transfer credit that is used to fulfill hs graduation requirements). Unless the courses are required to be on your hs transcript, I don’t really see a reason why they need to be. If the local CC charges for transcripts, I would suggest calling the schools you are applying to and ask them if you need to send a college transcript. Some schools might say you don’t, saving you a few dollars.</p>

<p>Whenever you apply for admission to an accredited college or university in the US, you are required to submit official copies of transcripts from every accredited college and university in the US that you have ever attended. It isn’t good enough to send one transcript that shows all of the transfer credits, you still have to get original transcripts from each of the places you have studied. </p>
<p>This isn’t about the colleges and universities being mean to the applicants, it is about them playing nice with each other.</p>
