transcripts

[JennyFieldsOriginal]

it seems a lot of schools are just requiring unofficial uploads of transcripts, and not asking anywhere for them to be sent to the graduate office.

should i send an official copy in case or am i being neurotic?

thanks!

Are you sure they don't say anything? As I recall there were two types of schools that wanted me to upload unofficial transcripts - those that wanted them sent in anyway (most of the schools), and those that wrote that I could wait until after I've been accepted to send official copies. In both cases the websites were very clear about what to do. Look on the application software and on the school/program websites. If you can't find any info try asking the graduate office. If it were me and I didn't get an answer I'd just go ahead and send two copies. I'd rather have the school throw them out than throw my app out as incomplete.

Only one of my schools is asking for unofficial transcripts, and they are very clear on the fact that the do NOT want any transcripts mailed. If an applicant gets an acceptance, then they want official transcripts mailed. They are trying to be as paper free as possible.
