1. I am aiming for Harvard, University of Chicago and Stanford. May I have the exception for the offers?

2. Since our school released its fall term grade on the first week ofJan, I could not upload my scanned transcript reflecting my fall term grade. So, I just reported my fall term grades after the submission. Will schools such as Harvard, Yale and University of Chicago consider my fall term grades during the admission process?

3. For Stanford University, I sent official transcripts without fall term grades in advance in November just in case where I would not able to send by the deadline. However, one week before the deadline I was able to send official transcripts reflecting fall term grades. So, I sent another set of transcripts. Does the school accept additional transcript?

 

Thank you in advance.

for the questions 2 and 3, you have not read application instructions carefully. In most cases, you just need to submit your transcript without the last semester, but you will have to submit the final version of the transcript if you are admitted to an university.

Thnx for the reply. Stanford University actually requires applicants to mail their official transcripts directly to the department

Yes, but for application process, you don't have to worry about the last semester. You will have to submit the final transcript after you are admitted.

Unless you did well in some particularly challenging courses. Then I think it's worth sending your updated transcript.

Yes, I wanted the school to reflect my fall term grade. So I sent another copy of official transcripts reflecting the recent grades, but have no idea if the schoo(Stanford) is going to consider it.

I emailed my unofficial transcript to all the schools I applied to and most said they would take it into account.

Even though most of the schools recommended not to?

I suppose if they say that then you shouldn't but they might be referring strictly to official transcripts as opposed to unofficial. Maybe they don't want to process the paperwork after a certain date?

Yes, of course you had to submit hard copy of your transcript to Stanford, but it didn't have to include the last semester.
