Transcript question

[omega]

I am going to apply Graduate School with fellowships. Do I need to submit transcript which includes this semester ? If so, grades won't be there until the end the deadline, which i heard it may have an effect on application ? Appreciate any input .

Most of the applications I've seen so far have a section where you tell them about courses you're currently taking, and some include a form to send them once the grades for your current courses are available. Thus, you should send transcripts now that don't include your current courses, and send the rest later. Many (if not all?) schools also require a final official transcript later on that confirms your receipt of a BA/BS once you're accepted but before you can officially enroll.

Second this. Your registrar has done this before, and they know what to send out. Make sure, however, that your undergrad institution actually sends the final transcript once you've been granted your degree. Because for some reason mine thought my grad school wanted to see my mid-semester report (again) (sans BA) before I enrolled

I recommend sending your transcript, as it stands now. And once you complete this semester you can have transcripts send with the additional semester included. Of course, you'll also have to send one more transcript to the school you attend once you graduate.
