transcript and ... eigth grade?!

Applying to College
1

<p>hello all,</p>

<p>i have a question that's been bugging me. My school adds grades from 8th grade to the transcript I think...is this the transcript that my guidance counselor sends as well? Of course, these grades are negligible in comparison to high school grades, correct?</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> common app is killing us all</p>

<p>If they're added to your transcript, they'll be on the document your GC sends to colleges. However, colleges are really only interested in high school grades. They're not going to place any weight on work you did four years ago.</p>
