Freaking out! My uploaded transcripts are illegible!

[EngineerGrad]

Guys, I am freaking out!

I was just checking my submitted applications and I noticed that my unofficial transcripts uploaded into ApplyYourself are quite illegible. 

The transcripts I uploaded into the website were legible and very clear, but for some reason, when I now access my application and click on "View document," the version I see is horrible and barely readable. 

 

Is someone else having the same problem???? I am having this issue with the transcripts uploaded for all schools I applied through ApplyYourself. ((((((((

I had the same problem with my applications, I went to Staples had them upload it on a jump drive then I uploaded. It wasn't blurry on ApplyYou after that.

I remember submitting it and seeing the transcripts in excellent quality. It was always like that. I checked my apps now and for some reason I can't read anything!

When I click on "View Document" it is horrible, but when I download the file and open it in my computer, I can read everything.

 

I am so worried this will affect the schools' decisions

Have you called them? It could be that they're only bad when viewed online through the web form. 

I'd call the department assistant and see what he/she says.

[EngineerGrad]

Yes, I emailed them and I'll call tomorrow morning. 

 

Thanks!

Apparently some schools use a transcript service which scrambles the PDF in some way when you try to distribute it.  At least one of my schools recommended that, if I wasn't sure about my electronic copy, to:

 

Print it out

Scan the print

Upload the scan

 

instead of uploading the PDF which I got from my school's transcript service.

Also...keep in mind, you have to send schools all your official transcripts (at least I had to), so those SHOULD definitely be legible. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I would think that if they couldn't read your transcript they'd have contacted you by now. Take heart!

This happened to me earlier. ****** contacted me and asked for fresh transcripts, in my case I omitted the backside and they wanted it to be included. I uploaded and it's all cool now.
