High School Transcript Woes

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Virginia

<p>I don't know what to do. I submitted my UVA application and all of my college transcripts. I have been out of high school for over ten years. I received a GED 12 years ago and sent a transcript for that. </p>

<p>Then I find out they need an actual high school transcript too. I went to high school hundreds of miles from where I live. No one in the records office returns my calls. There is no published process that I can find to request them.</p>

<p>I have designed all of my education the past year and a half to getting in to UVA. Spent hours on essays. </p>

<p>I don't want my high school transcript from 12 years ago to prevent my application from being read. I just can't get any help from my old high school and at this point if they mailed it yesterday it probably wouldn't get there on time. </p>

<p>I just want to cry. Any ideas if there is someone I can talk to about this requirement???</p>

<p>Have you called the high school during school hours? Has no person answered the phone? These aren’t the sort of things that schools throw away. </p>

<p>Also, have you read the transfer blog? I’m not a transfer expert, but someone who is writes the transfer blog.</p>

<p>I have been calling during school hours and will keep relentlessly trying, but I am afraid even if they get back to me or answer at this point they will never be able to get a transcript to UVA by March 1.</p>

<p>They can fax it and then follow up with the hard copy.</p>
