<p>SuperMom,</p>
<p>I don’t have a solution for you. You are going to have to come clean on opening the package.</p>
<p>This is why many schools won’t ever hand back any part of the package to a student - the risk of opening/tampering.</p>
<p>Mistakes get made. You can address your worry wart nature and say you wanted to make sure that it was accurate. In terms of the so-so letter, your child is stuck with that one.</p>
<p>The issue of unweighted vs. weighted is an interesting one, though. Each school seems to take a slightly different tack sending out these transcripts. What may seem wrong to you may be perfectly accurate using the courses the school counts for college admissions requirements. This using means tossing out PE classes and other elective, non-academic subjects. Colleges may also re-calculate those percentages when they get the transcript despite what it says on the transcript from the school.</p>
<p>Good luck. Getting to reestablish trust back with the GC at this point is going to be a challenge.</p>
