If you were doing some research into colleges like Cornell and Mich (ndothers you’ve named,) you’d know they only ask for the transcript from 9-12. Some hs send 8-12, a few 7-12, but tippy top adcoms aren’t interested in middle school. Nor would you equate B/C grades with F grades. You wouldn’t be making lists of tippy top college targets so soon.
Nor would you go with, “I asked my friend’s brother who just graduated” Next time, ask your guidance counselor.
One thing for sure: if you make a lot of assumptions about tippy top collges you’re going to miss a lot of learning about what does atter to them, what they do look for.
Sorry, I have to ask if this is a serious thread,
