Transcript Grades
Answered

I was looking at my transcript and I looked at my grades from 10th grade. In two of my standard classes, my semester grades were over 100 because I did extra credit even when I didn't need to.

I had a 111 in one class in the second semester and a 101 in another class.

The yearly grade was still 100 because you can't get a grade higher than 100 in a standard class, but I was wondering if having that will affect my college acceptation. What if they think it's a typo or something and don't trust my transcript? What if I get rejected over that?

Hey there @liv.luv.life!

I'm not exactly sure how this would appear on your transcript, but at my school I think they only show the letter grades (A, A-, B+, etc.) and unweighted GPAs on report cards. Anything above a 100 would be an A and a 4.0, and if the end of the year grade will be a 100, you don't need to worry about anything. I highly doubt that you will be rejected for having grades above 100, and I also think it's a possibility that colleges won't even see that you got a 111, they'll just see that you got an A in that class.

Again, I'm not really sure, so you can ask a teacher/counselor for a more concrete answer!
