The Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) is an online system used in place of a high school (secondary school) transcript which allows first-year applicants attending a U.S. high school to self-report all courses and associated grades earned from grades 9 through 12. With a variety of grading scales across the country, the SRAR allows us to automatically recalculate and weigh student grade point averages (GPAs) to ensure equal consideration is given to each applicant's academic profile.
