courses and the grades on the transcript under a heading that gives the
name of transfer school and the year attended. When transcripts are sent
out to colleges we attach the transfer schools transcript to ours. We do
not convert or try to incorporate grades from other schools into ours.

We have adopted this 'best practice' that Peter speaks about. Also (for
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.

Hope that helps.

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.
