Hi all, Im international and go to a private school. My school sends the transcript begining from when I joined school which happens to be in the 6th grade. This means that they will send my middle school grades in art and music ( Didnt get to chose the subjects in middle school) an did badly in them.
Would Upenn look at these grades and care? Or would they just ignore them up to highschool?
Thanks
They are not going to care about your grades in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade. Only 9-12 matter.
Would they just skip it? Im sure they will auleast have a look

From the dean of admissions’ website: http://page217.org/?p=1741
“They typically feel confident about their transcript, which will only show grades from freshman through junior years.”
I would imagine that your school would cut off the 6,7,&8 grades
They will mostly likely ignore your earlier grades. Even if they do not, you should not worry about as you have an upward tread, which will work to your advantage.
