Hey everyone! Quick question, do colleges get access to our high school progress reports? I've had my ups and downs, so I'm a bit concerned about how much weight they carry.
Colleges typically do not have access to your high school progress reports. What they do see are your final grades on your official high school transcript. The primary focus for colleges will be your year-end or semester grades and your overall GPA, rather than your progress reports.
However, it's important to keep in mind that many colleges take a holistic approach to admissions, so they'll also consider other factors like standardized test scores (if available), extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal essays. A few ups and downs on your progress reports shouldn't have a significant impact on your chances, as long as your final grades on your transcript are strong and consistent.
Remember to maintain a good work ethic throughout the school year, as strong performance in your classes not only contributes to a better transcript but also demonstrates your dedication and resilience to colleges.
