the techie types), since we also send our transcripts electronically
through Naviance (after uploading them from our SIS), we combine the
previous transcripts (e.g. from summer, previous high school, etc.) and
colleges will thus receive one .pdf that bundles all of the transcripts.
They will then evaluate the 'apples and oranges' according to their
admission rubric particular to their institution.

We also attach other schools' transcripts to our own. Trying to convert
would be comparing apples to oranges and, as Derrel Fincher pointed out,
right on the edge of ethical and possibly legal standards. We would only
ever cite GPA at OUR school, and our Profile makes this clear.

I think that attaching copies of previous/summer/other transcripts to
the
school's own official, sealed transcript could be summed up as "best
practice" in the independent school college counseling world.

Including and converting is just not a good idea, I think.
