Does Andover look at your 7th grade transcript?

<p>I’m going to be applying to Andover next year and I’m worried about my transcript. For the first three quarters this year, I’ve had a 4.0 GPA, but this quarter i think that it will be anywhere from ~3.6 to 3.84. Would this affect my chances at getting a full ride?</p>

<p>They look at 6th, 7th, and 8th. </p>

<p>I don’t think it will hurt too much. Do really well on the SSAT’s. Especially on the math section. Also blow them away during the interview, stay in contact with an AO, and let Andover know that they ARE your first choice. </p>

<p>I’m pretty much a full ride to DA and I didn’t do so well in sixth grade (I’m talking C’s). Also my math section on the SSAT could have been stronger… Let them see that you are qualified and that you love the school.</p>

<p>Andover is need-blind. They don’t care about financial need, so don’t worry! Just focus on getting in.</p>

<p>Think of it like this, why would they care about your grades from a year or two ago? All that matters is who you are now. Heck bad grades in the PAST can be helpful! It can show a steady improvement to show a strong work ethic and determinarion to succeed throughout the years. Trust me, don’t fret! :)</p>
