    lbp2488 got a reaction from TheGirlWhoLived in Need advice - school requiring record of grades that I don't have (from study abroad semester)   
    Thanks Pachel and TheGirlWhoLived! Pachel - this one school did not accept the explanation you suggested, though other schools did. The transcript should come through though... hopefully.
     
     
    It really depends on the school. Some schools require official transcripts from every institution with your application, some accept unofficial with the application but require official transcripts once you've been accepted. Some schools are okay with transfer credits being listed in your "main" transcript, others (as I've explained) want grades listed too... I'd check the application requirements, as they are usually fairly clear about it, and contact someone in admissions if it's not clear.

    This is a great way for us all to pick up some healthy new habits!
     
    Ha. Mine would be too much snacking on cereal and peanut butter due to my inability to focus on anything for more than a few minutes, obsessive results-checking (duh), fantasizing that schools might just make decisions earlier this year and getting way too excited about an email notification... until I read the email and inevitably respond (internally, of course) with a surge of rage and frustration with a dose of hopelessness.
     
    It doesn't help that I'm working in a job that's a bad fit for me and that the work flow is super light right now. (Don't tell them I said that. I still need to finish a couple more statements for backup-plan programs.)

    lbp2488 got a reaction from Bhu_It in The wait is driving me nuts!!!!   
    I completely understand, and I'm sure pretty much everyone else on here does, too! It's so painful not to know, and the emotional rollercoaster is intense... Some days I'm fairly confident, others I'm 99% sure I'll be going with my backup plan. But the pessimist in me is grateful to have some time to sit with the possibility that I could in fact get into a good program - and finally say goodbye to a job that is a bad fit for me. It feels good to commiserate
