Dual-Enrollment College Transcripts

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello everyone! I'm applying to several schools through QuestBridge (not exactly relevant to my question), so this could also apply to EA/ED, and even RD to some extent. If we have taken Dual-Enrollment courses during high school and we have a college transcript, do we request that the college mail it to the schools we're applying to? Like, is it a relevant piece of information that plays a part in admission? Or is it something we only do after being accepted somewhere, to receive transfer credit or higher placement?
Some schools (like Stanford) ask us to write specific information on any mail we send, such as our CommonApp ID or the fact that we're applying EA/ED/QuestBridge. However, if I request for my college transcript to be sent directly to say, Stanford, there'll be nothing on the envelope to identify either me or the priority of the mail (EA vs RD, etc.). Will this greatly delay the processing of my application? Should I request for the transcripts to be sent to me first so I can put them in a bigger envelope, which I can actually write or put labels on? Some schools require that transcripts be sent DIRECTLY to them, right? Will the admissions offices take the trouble of matching transcripts with applicants if there isn't any identifying info on the envelope?</p>

<p>Whew... that was a lot of questions... sorry guys! Thanks for any help or input you can give me!</p>

<p>You need to have the transcripts sent.</p>

<p>You do have the option of requesting sealed official copies that you can then put into one large package along with a sealed official copy of your HS transcript and your sealed letters of reference. That is how many of us did it back before electronic documents existed.</p>

<p>You also can have the official copies sent directly from your CC to the colleges/universities. Don’t worry about them not ending up in your file in time. The minions at the admissions offices are expert at handling this volume of documents in a timely manner.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
