Transcripts, ARGHHH!!!

[MegMill]

What happens if your transcripts are sent by the application deadline? Do you die?

[Bukharan]

Ideally, they should be received by the deadline.

If they are only sent by the deadline, nothing can be guaranteed of course but I doubt any school would get rid of your application or submit it to the review board without the transcripts verified. They will get them a week late - so what? This happens.

It would be great to avoid such scenarios of course. Don't worry!

I'm trying not to freak about this kind of stuff as much as a result of a convo I had with a major university where there was a "rigid" December 1st deadline. No one is looking at applications until after the Holidays or right about that time. Most programs seem to have a couple weeks where they let loose ends bet tied up.
