As i see it, you have a few issues here:
- You need to show colleges your grades from 9th & 10th grade…btw, this is an issue for ALL colleges…not just elites…they are going to wonder where in the heck you were for two years.
- I’d let my GC turn in the transcripts…and i’d talk with him/her first. Somehow you got into this school without transcripts…so they have an explanation.
- As others have suggested, I’d frame up one of my essays to talk about those two wandering years…done right, it’s intriguing.
- And get safeties…the 4 colleges you mentioned are impossible for everybody…even people who have 9th & 10th grade transcripts.
