<p>Christian2 – thanks for that information…</p>

<p>I’ve gone to the UCLA website and downloaded the applicaiton… YOU DO HAVE TO LIST 9th GRADE CLASSES, AND GRADES. You obviously cannot fabricate 9th grade because, as you say, they later do review the school’s official transcript for congruency with the self-reported courses/grades.</p>

<p>So, although my comment above about reviewing the official transcript appears to be incorrect, what’s the difference? You still list your 9th grade courses, and grades, and those are simply not used to calculate “UC GPA”, or UC Class rank. It does NOT say they don’t look at them, form an opinion about them, or anything else that would lead me to conclude they “don’t matter”.</p>

<p>Here’s the application. See page 4. <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/pdf/Application_FR.pdf[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/pdf/Application_FR.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
