<p>Hi, My S applied for University of Alabama today and paid the application fee. He said that the application only asked generic questions such as birth date state of residency, etc. When will he have to submit transcripts and test scores? Will Bama send some ID that he can use to further complete his application? Thank you!</p>

<p>I applied to the University of Alabama this summer (and just got my acceptance last week!), and yes, the online application is very generic. I also had my GC send my transcript to UA, and I had my SAT scores sent as well, before I was accepted. They need these before you can be accepted. I also received an email after I submitted the online app that allowed me to set up a Mybama account. Through this, you can track your admission progress, start on your scholarship app, and once accepted, access the honors app. Hope this helps!</p>
