<p>I have heard they often want to see senior grades. Should I send them? My GPA is 3.5, but my SAT is low (M-500, C-510, W-610). I am very worried because I know housing can be limited.</p>
<p>I have a 3.551 with all A's and B's in a very rigorous course load (3 AP's and and the rest are honors) in my first semester of senior year. I sent in my transcript and SAT scores on , submitted the application, and paid the fee on October 10th, but they initally lost my transcript. I sent another one and they didn't update my TUportal until December 15th. What should I do? Thanks.</p>

<p>Mine said the same thing. Last month, I had a few problems with my application…wrong major, wrong name for the CC I’m transferring from, and it was holding for HS transcripts they I really didn’t have to send in. I had to call to get all of this fixed.</p>
<p>Then I checked yesterday and I got in! Best congratulations out of any of the school website’s I’ve been admitted to so far.</p>
