<p>Okay, so i'm really confused about what a transcript is.
In my school they give us end of year reports every year yr 10 11 12 13. But they're around 8 pages long . surely sending three of them is not a transcript.
Also I have completed my GCSEs and two A Levels those obviously are certificates and will be sent stamped.
Please tell me if i should be sending these reports for each year.
Thanks!</p>
<p>basically teacher reports of how im doing in the 10 GCSES and 5 A Levels im taking… wouldnt that be a lot?</p>
<p>individual teacher reports. so altogehter i would be sending around 20 pages?</p>
<p>okay so what im trying to say is these reports are basically like the recommendation i want two teachers to fill out. you know what i mean? So pleas tell me what is a transcript haha and what detail does it go into</p>
<p>Okay i need some replies soon please!</p>
<p>The transcript is not your teacher reports. It’s the official summary of all the courses you have taken and the grades you earned. It’s issued by the central office of the school, not by individual teachers.</p>
<p>Oh okay phew! So basically i don’t need to photocopy 20 pages of reports. Instead i need a sheet from the central office for the description of the GCSEs and A Levels i took/taking.</p>
<p>^^Yes, and the transcript must be sent directly to the university by your school, not photocopied and sent by you. Most colleges also require that it be an “official” copy - bearing the school’s official stamp or seal.</p>
<p>Okay awesome! But the school told me to send them by myself as they only send to the UK. However there will be an official seal of the school and all the formalities. I checked with Columbia and Chicago and they said it was fine. SO i guess it’s okay yeah?</p>
<p>You might want to have your school put the transcript equivalent into an envelope with a school seal and/or the registrar’s signature over the flap once the envelope is closed. Also, be sure that official GCE score reports are sent to your universities. Finally, many colleges have specific admissions officers assigned to overseas applicants and to the UK. You might want to identify that person for your prospective universities and find out exactly what they like to see from British applicants. The whole 20 page thing might actually be desirable – you won’t know until you ask.</p>
