I really just need to vent about my stupid Israeli university

[silentskye]

Really.

My alma mater is in Israel and I currently reside in Boston, so any and all communications with them take place through my mother at best, or on the phone at 4 am, at worst. I ask them to send copies of my transcript, including graduate work. They say it'll take two weeks. It takes more. They send it out and I discover the transcripts do not include my graduate work. I explain the mistake to the universities to which I'm applying. They understand, and request that I send the completed transcripts when I have them.

My mother finally received the new transcripts yesterday, and sent them all off. However she only received 7, when there were supposed to be 8 (one for me, to scan and upload to websites). She returns to the university today where they tell her, apologetically, that the transcripts they translated only included my undergraduate work.

She had already sent the new transcripts to all the universities that required a hard copy.

That means more emails, having to apologize for my alma mater's apparent inability to include my graduate courses in the transcripts.

It also means that all in all, I would've sent 3(!!) copies of my transcripts to all these universities by the time this is over.

If I were them, I would throw my application in the trash out of sheer annoyance.

OK. Rant over. Thank you for coming

That sux. But I'm sure US universities are very tolerant of delays when the University is abroad and in a language that needs to be translated.
