Just saw my d's official transcript at school and was surprised to see several things on it. Besides classes and grades, it has a "community service hours" spot for each year, along with spots for standardized test scores - both categories were blank. I asked the counselor if they were going to add the test scores - they have them already - and they said they don't since schools want them sent directly so it's useless. When I asked if it looked bad to have blank community service hours, they offered to fill it in with the hours my D has documented for NHS the last two years. Her hours are around 50 each year so I don't know if that would help or hurt. Just so busy with shows, etc that is the best she can do during the school year and they only count 8 Summer hours. I know this won't help get her in a MT program but does it matter otherwise? The other thing is there is no mention of AP test scores. Is that normal? How do schools know about your AP credits then? Do you only submit those to the school you end up going to? If so, then it doesn't help you with the application process which is how I thought you were supposed to stand out. We go to a private school so I m just not sure if this is normal or not since they like to do things a little differently sometimes - they don't weight grades at all for example - so any info on what's standard would be appreciated. Thanks!
