Application deadlines and receipt of transcripts/scores etc

[kleisthenes]

I'm a new poster on these forums, but I've been reading them for a while from rural Rajasthan, where my internet connection will just about allow the gradcafe forums to operate. Thanks so much for all the wisdom that I've already benefited from!

I submitted my applications on or before their deadlines (MPP at GWU, GPPI, AU SPA and LSE). I requested transcripts and GRE scores before Christmas. My transcripts came from my undergraduate institution in the UK, where there is usually a mailing time of around 1 week to the US.

I'm worried about the status of my application as tracked online, which says that my transcripts have not yet arrived. I'm particularly worried because I'm dependent on aid, and the deadline for complete applications for aid consideration has passed.

I assume my transcripts have arrived, but have not been matched to my application yet. Does anyone else have experience of this? Will it affect my application for aid?

Thanks

edit for clarity: my GRE scores have arrived everywhere (even LSE) and my transcripts are not confirmed as being received anywhere (even LSE).

You could email them and ask. My transcripts showed up on the application webpages over 2 weeks after they were recieved.

P.S. try Tata Photon

Some colleagues use Tata Photon, but out here it's not great. I use Reliance Netconnect...

Cheers for sharing your experience.

Yes, if you're worried about it you have to ask. E-mail or phone them, but don't just leave it and assume they're getting around to it. Most likely, they are, but it never hurts to check, and that's their job.
