Eeep! Transcript Problem!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I'm applying to Brandeis under their Blue Ribbon Application (due Dec 15th), and they just told me that they're missing my 11th grade grades on my transcript. I think the registrar messed up somewhere and didn't include the second page. Unlike most people at my school, I have a two-page transcript because of some high school classes I took in middle school. </p>

<p>I afraid that Yale also may have received an incomplete transcript. I ordered the one to be sent to Yale about a month before the one to be sent to Brandeis, so it may have been different people who prepared it. Would Yale have told me if they didn't receive everything? All I ever got was the postcard with a promise to notify me if stuff was missing. Should I call my admissions rep, just in case? </p>

<p>Aaaahhh!!! My nerves can't handle this.</p>

<p>DEFINITELY too late now. I'm sure they would've called if it was missing.</p>

<p>Sigh. I hope so. Like I needed one more thing to worry about. </p>

<p>Grrr! I ordered the Brandeis one along with the ones I was sending to all the other schools I was applying to. No way am I paying the school another $24 to send them out again.</p>

<p>Don't worry llamapyjamas; I'm SURE they would have notified you if they only had part of your transcript!! And I'm sure you won't have to pay again either-- twasn't your fault</p>

<p>Wow, your school charges you for a transcript? At my school, they just print me a copy whenever I ask for one, which has been about 10 times, for various programs and scholarships and stuff.</p>

<p>Just an update, if any one cares. The registrar promised to redo my transcripts for free.
And my school charges $3 a transcript. They fill something like 200 requests a day, so I guess they need the money. The weird thing is though, if you have an office aide block, they're free.</p>

7

<p>my school charges $3/transcript also.</p>

8

<p>my school charges $26,000 a year....our transcripts better be free</p>

9

<p>Mine charges $7 for an official transcript w/ priority mailing.
I never knew how expensive applying to college could be!</p>

<p>Don't your counselors just include the transcript with their letters of rec?</p>

11

<p>$1 / transcript here lol.</p>

12

<p>Counselors include them, but we have to order them, pay for them, and have them sent to the counselor's office.</p>

<p>that's a gyp. i can't believe high schools are making students cover the cost of applying to colleges. you'd think they'd want to encourage it instead of discourage it. and when they are charging 24 dollars, they're probably making a profit because I can't imagine what kind of paper costs 12 dollars a sheet unless it were pure hammer gold.</p>

<p>ivyboy-Amen to that. It costs almost $20,000 for senior year at my school. If they charged extra money for ANYTHING involving college (we have a reputation for sending kids to Ivies), there would be a revolt among the parents.
(Although apparently our tuition only covers three-quarters of the actual costs of running the school...the rest is donations from all the blue-blood old-money alumns we have.....)</p>
