socialequity Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Frustrated! Due date was December 1st. I verified on December 5th that official transcripts were mailed to the school in October - just received an email today saying they do not have the official transcripts!!!!!!! WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guest Gnome Chomsky Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I've heard official transcripts aren't necessary until you've already been admitted. Not sure if this is so though.

complexbongo Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I've heard official transcripts aren't necessary until you've already been admitted. Not sure if this is so though. That depends on the university, but most schools use the uploaded unofficial transcripts to review and then verify what you uploaded against the official ones. Most, if not all, schools require an official transcript to be mailed upon admission. Often times the school who you sent the transcript to will fail to mark on their online system that they have received it, so that could be a factor in your case, LesSoc. If you're worried, call the school to double-check. You don't want your application being disqualified if their was a simple processing error.

They are on the west coast! ......
socialequity Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 Just spoke to the graduate admissions office of the school. Once I gave her the date that they were sent, she found them and said she will "merge the records" and suggested that I call on Thursday to verify.
complexbongo Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Great news! Keep on them, they have a lot of records to maintain so it's understandable that they make some clerical mistakes. Good luck with your apps!
