Hi,
I’m new. I’m applying this fall and Deadline is very close. I have attended two highschools. In the first, I attended freshman and sophomore, in the second, I attended junior and senior. I have problem with inviting counselor(s) section. There is limitation of adding only one counselor of one school. If I add my recent counselor, he wont be uploading my 9th and 10th transcripts, and old school counselor recommendation. If my old school send the documents to my new school, can my new school counselor merge the transcripts of my old school with new transcripts in a single document, with a letter from my old counselor stating the documents are sent on behalf the old school? Can I do that?
Or Should My new school send the documents of 11 and 12 in common app, and my old school send their documents via emails to colleges, seperatly?? help
Your current counselor uploads ALL your high school work. Your 9th and 10th grade records become part of your final transcript and the package includes the grading scale from that school.
My kids went to 3 high schools but only sent in the transcripts from the final one. The one exception is the NCAA requires an original transcript from each high school attended.
What about the counselor recommendation letter and school profile of the old school?can it be sent by the new school??
Your second school should be merging your transcript into one. My son went through this last year. I will caution you that you should follow through with every single school you apply to making sure they have all of your information. In most cases it worked out just fine but there were a couple of schools that had my son’s application listed as “waiting for transcripts or materials” when indeed they were all right there. The two schools caused a little bit of confusion but by staying on top of everything it really wasn’t a problem. Just call each school after your application has been in for a week and ask, “just checking to make sure you have all of my application materials.” Good luck!
Thanks. I understand this now. But, what about the previous school’s report and their counselor’s letter of recommendation? How do you send that to colleges??
Your current counselor is the only counselor rec that is required
Hmm…Thanks guys. Just one little question, how do you send your previous highschool’s profile??? Regards, newyear in Advance
You don’t, and it’s not as important as your current school profile. You can always as your current GC to include, since most profiles are available online.
