4 High School Transcripts!?

<p>Ok, I went to 4 different high schools (one every year - we moved a lot), and when I applied as a freshman to college...every college only wanted my senior year transcript. For some reason, as a transfer, all of the colleges want one from "Every High School attended" which would amount to me sending 4 HS transcripts. Not only would it be hard to contact each schools and wait for transcripts, I'm not even sure some of them still have my transcripts (for example, the small private Christian school I attended in 9th grade probably deleted me from the system). Is it really necessary? Is there someway to avoid sending all of those, and just sending my final HS transcript from the school I graduated from? And if not, why do they only want this stuff as a transfer?</p>

<p>did you call the schools to ask? the ones you're considering transferring to i mean.</p>
