US University Admissions Overview, Part 1
Many parents and students, surprisingly seem to have very little basic understanding of US university admissions, so this article is the first in a series of a broad overview and a step-by-step approach starting from the first considerations.
* US universities consider an applicant's grades and extracurricular activities starting from the 9th grade to the 11th, or from the 11th grade 2nd semester and counting backwards six semesters. Many applications (The Common App, the University of California app, California State University App, the Coalition Application, the Apply Texas app) require students to input their own grades into the application, and skipping a grade or repeating a grade will make inputting grades into this online SRAR (Self Reported Academic Record, as it's sometimes called) difficult and won't allow applicants to advance to the next online-application screen. 12th grade grades are important in US college admissions too, but in a different way and more on that later.
* It is also the current high school's transcript that is looked at, so the current high school in its transcript should have records of all of students' previous school grades recorded into its own transcript, again from the 9th grade onwards. Go to the "registrar's office" and ask the registrar for an unofficial transcript. The difference between an "unofficial transcript" and an "official transcript" is only that the unofficial transcript isn't sealed. Make sure that the transcript you have from the registrar's office has every grade filled in and isn't missing any grades. This is an especially critical issue for students transferring from overseas high schools to US schools--and students in the process taking a semester off or leaving the old high school without taking the final examinations. This last is an especially critical problem and one that needs to be addressed now, rather than right before applying to universities.
