I have seen many students applying to Graduate schools for MS or MBA in USA posting questions about their profiles about 10th and inter or 11th &12th Class or Standards percentages and asking questions like :
- I have 95% in inter or 11th and 12th grades, will I get admission
- I have 90% in 10th grade, will I get scholarship ? Admission ?
- I have only 65% in 10th and Intermediate, will I get admission ?
High School or Secondary Education in USA
Just some background of secondary education system in United States : “In the United States a high school is an upper secondary school which educates children from grade nine or ten through grade twelve”. ( Grade is nothing but a class ) Wiki Article: Secondary education in United States Anyways, the point is 10th, 11th and 12th classes are considered high school or secondary education.
Graduate School Transcript Requirements for MS/MBA Admission
If you look at any University admissions requirements for MS or MBA i.e., graduate school , the transcript requirements will say one very common thing “Official transcripts are required from each post-secondary university or college attended. An official statement of the award of the degree or diploma is required for each degree completed. ” What they mean is, they want transcripts for only B.Tech or B.Com or anything that you have done AFTER 12th class or intermediate. They need transcripts only for the classes after High School or Secondary education. The Graduate Schools do NOT NEED 10th, 11th and 12th class mark sheets, because most of the schools do NOT Give any weightage or importance to that percentages for admission decision of MS or MBA . There is one catch, if you have got any University credit in your bachelors for the classes that you have taken in high school, then they need the high school transcripts. You can see this explained in Ohio State Univ Transcript FAQ
You can check few of the Universities’ Graduate school application requirements below, look for transcripts section and they all should say Post-secondary :
- Graduate School – Vanderbilt University – Application Transcripts Requirements
- Graduate School – Univ of Illinois – Urbana Champaign Transcripts
- Rutgers State Univ of New Jersey- Transcripts
- TAMU – College Station – Required Transcripts for Graduate
Think logically, if they do NOT want your official mark sheets or transcripts or they are not even asking you to send any copies of the high school or secondary education mark sheets, they probably do not use them for anything. If they make any admission or scholarship decision based on your high school marks then they will ask. Some may argue, I will send them anyways just in case they may look at them. Sending them will not hurt, but the key thing is, your admission or scholarship decision may not be based on them.

You will need to take SAT or required test by the school in US and apply for the same. You will need to check specific school that you are interested in for the admission requirements. Here is an example at Univ of Houston for UG admission

Do not worry too much about the past, You have a long way to go. As the article says, if you plan to apply for Masters level program, they do not look at your X and XI class…so, focus on your present and do well, you will be fine in future.

Hello Sir,
I need Research job. how many percentage in class 12th Commerce
Jhalak,
Well, I do no think your class 12th marks really matter. If you want a research based role, you will probably need some publications in journals…So, dont worry too much about your 12th marks…

Hello ,sir I have scored 39 in phy and 49 in Chen in 12 std and now I have even got the admission in computer engineering …sir the main question was after I complete my engineering will there be a problem for me for going further studies in abroad or I won’t get a visa ..due to my low score in PC ..but I have scored 65.23 in 12 std ..I just want to knw the problems I would face..!
akash,
It is too early to worry about your current state. Your X class and XII class marks are not considered for your MS admission. If you work hard from now and get good percentage in Engineering and also in GRE and TOEFL, you will be fine. Dont worry too much now.
i scored 40 percentage in 12th in 2016. i want to study csomputer science in b.tech. so will my 12th result matter in the upcoming job enterviews???

aman,
Visa is a very different thing and nothing is for sure. The VO looks at your application as a whole and your capability to give you visa.

I want admission in usa but i live in india and i got a 83% in 10th standard at this year.please give me a suggesion on this topike
Vijay bankar,
What do you want to study in US ?
hey, i want to know what us universities consider- 11th grade percentile or 10th grade cgpa(10 on 10 in my case). Does a bad percentile (87% in my case) in 11th grade could deteriorate my chances of admission?
simply put, what is more important for us universities-
11th grade or 10th grade.
Supriya,
If you are applying for Masters degree, it does not matter…Read the article again…
Hello! i’ve scored 1360/1600 in SAT and gonna give again to improve my score. I’m pretty sure i’ll score around 90 in TOEFL and that’s not bad i guess but the only problem is i’ve scored only 79.2% in my CBSE in XII and i think it’s li’l bit low although i’ve scored 9.6/10 in my X. So i just wanted to know is there any chance to get admission in any ivy college in the US? I know SAT score and GPA are not everything for the application but is 79.2% ok for an ivy college?
Sumit Kumar,
Unfortunately, we do not really advise on admission chances. I suggest you can checkout average scores of some of the schools you plan to apply and then get some idea. You can write to the school’s admissions as well to get their inputs.
I am in 12 science and 1999 Nov born. I want to do further studies in US after 12th. Do I have to give sat and toefl to pursue admission in college over there?
Ishita,
Yes, you would very likely need to give SAT and TOEFL to pursue bachelors in US. You can check any of the US Universities websites, they will have process listed with required tests.

i have completed 10 with 10 / 10 GPA and i want to study the 11th grade from start in the USA high schools how do i get admission for 11th grade
Hi Admin ,
I have 7.73(out of 10 GPA) in B tech CS ,89.92% in SSC,60% in PUC. Also i have 2 years of work experience in Network domain.
What are my chances of getting an admit from a decent college in and around Texas?
Would my work experience and LOR from current employer be of any weight-age to me?
shwetha sk,
You will need to take GRE and TOEFL as well for most of the decent schools. If you get good score, then you should be able to secure an admission. Yes, they will add weight to the application.

You can take SAT and apply for Bachelors degree after your 12th grade. Check any university for bachelors requirements, it should clearly explain the steps. The only thing is that the fee may be quite high depending on the school.
