Fall semester transcripts

[ghostoverground]

Hi all. 

 

I'm in my last year of undergrad, so as of a week or so ago when grades were due, I now have one more semester's worth of grades on my transcript than I did when I submitted my applications. Am I expected to send an updated version of my transcript to the programs I applied to? In particular, the programs that have already invited me to interview? I know that most programs require a final transcript if you accept their offer or matriculate, etc., but what about these "updated" versions? My boyfriend informed me that this was expected for his law school applications, so now I'm scared that it's required for bio programs too and just I missed the instructions somewhere. 

 

Thank you!

Nah. If programs 'expect' applicants to send an updated version, they should say so explicitly. Of all the schools I applied to only Yale mentions an updated transcript, and they makes it very clear that even such a version is completely optional. I just came back from an interview and nobody mentioned grades or transcripts at all.

Take an updated transcript when you go to your interview weekend. Beyond that I wouldn't worry unless you're directly asked by admissions.
