I had a lot of bad grades in high school, will this affect my app?

Harvard does this too; I'm destroyed at these two schools if they actually review my highschool transcript for content.
 
I'm not sure but I think they want to know if you actually graduated high school and not just got a GED. I could be wrong but I also don't see how they can look to down on a bad high schoolGPA and a great undergrad GPA (that is if you have a good one)
 
ucla told me they request it strictly for verification.

KAP, will you list all the schools you applied to? I also attend UF.
 
check them out at predents.com
 
What if an applicant has been home schooled all through from K1 - G12?
 
more hoops to jump through?
