Joules Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 So I have a one page transcript that just looks like a traditional transcript with normal classes and state codes. The State DE school he is attending required a Transcript Supplement with descriptions, textbooks, reading lists, teachers, etc. It turned out to be 13 pages long. I can't find a place to put this on the Common App. Should I make the transcript a 14 page document and just let the real transcript be the first page? Should I only send the one page transcript and wait for them to ask for the rest? 2. There is a question as to if test scores are on the transcript. I didn't put them there, as there is very little room and I thought official copies would be better (plus they are self-reported on the app itself). Should I change the transcript and add them? 3. Are numeric grades necessary on the transcript, since I have a grading scale? The difference between 94 and 96 seems like arbitrary and unnecessary information. Our state does put the specifics on official transcripts, so I was trying to follow that, but I'm not sure. I feel like I'm over-thinking too much of this, but competitive admissions and scholarships already seem so arbitrary, I don't want to do the one little thing to knock him out of the running.

EKS Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I uploaded my course descriptions as a second transcript. I did not report test scores on the transcript as I thought that the schools wouldn't be too thrilled with mom reported scores. I did not report numeric grades, just A, A-, B+, etc, but I did have a key that showed the percentages required to earn a particular letter grade.

snowbeltmom Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I reported all scores on the one-page transcript, including SAT, SAT II's, APs, AMC and AIME. I also had a section that listed awards won. I had a description for every class listed on the transcript in my Course Description document. I uploaded this file as a second transcript. I awarded letter grades on the one-page transcript and included the grading scale. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
