My son now has 7 applications in, 4 of which are common app. The school has sent out transcripts to 2 of the non-common app fairly quickly. However, four weeks after the first application was filed, STILL no transcript/school profile. I checked with the guidance counselor last week and she said they just completed the school. profile. Eight days later, and still nothing showing up under these schools, one of which is rolling admissions and could decide next month. My son has stopped by a couple of times dropping off new forms, but apparently hasn’t been direct enough to ask when it would be sent out. He is even getting concerned about it and went by there today and she was out. I am frustrated and don’t know what else to do except keep following up…
My D’s school has not sent any transcripts get. They just finished calculating class ranks so hopefully it will happen soon. She has two apps in that are complete except for the transcript.
Our HS doesn’t have the final transcripts prepared until around the second week in October. There is plenty of time.
Not unusual. Colleges understand, too.
Thanks…I just thought it would be better to get everything in early, to avoid rushing the guidance counselor/teacher in late October, but apparently that is what they expect. Purdue just changed to totally rolling admissions and will start notifying as early as 10/23, which is why I was hoping to have it done by now. (The AP calc teacher also has yet to do the rec that he agreed to do a month ago…trying not to think about that.) You can probably tell this is my first kid at this stage. By the time S4 gets to this point (he’s in 3rd grade now) I’ll probably be pretty laid back and watch him file applications on 10/31 without batting an eye.
