If the way you're scanning it allows you to copy/paste the scans into a Word document, then you're golden. At least with Word 2007, you can then save it as a .pdf and click "optimize for minimum size". My transcript is 3 pages and ~250 KB. It's a little fuzzy, but I don't know what kind of resolution they're expecting with such restrictive file size limits.

GRE: 800Q, 630V, 4.5A GRE Chemistry: 830 GPA: 3.99 (4.0 Major) at a small liberal arts college J-term organic chemistry research, summer of bioinorganic/materials research, and two years of continuous organometallics research (with honors thesis) by the end of the year. 2nd author in an Organometallics paper and a JACS paper from different groups. I'm applying to Columbia, MIT, Berkeley, Caltech, Irvine, Illinois, Seattle, Madison, Michigan, and Minnesota for inorganic/organometallics. Minnesota is basically my safety school for a variety of reasons. It looks like we are pretty self-selecting; I hope we all do well!
