How do colleges get my high school transcript? (Common App)

There doesn’t seem to be a section for it.

hi there. my counselor is the one who sent all of my information—transcript, mid-year report, etc.—to my colleges. i believe, for me, it was uploaded in the “school report” section of my counselor’s tab of my common app. however, i don’t think this is the case for everyone. it is best to ask your counselor if he/she sends that ^ information with your application.

@kalons I don’t see a section where a counselor can be assigned to an application on the transfer common app.

You have to order a transcript from your high school by calling (or maybe they have an online service) and ask for it to be sent to the schools you’re applying too. I’d recommend emailing your old counselor and asking how to get it. There’s usually a small fee per transcript; mine was $5.

oh, you didn’t specify that you are a transfer applicant. in that case, you’ll need to call your old high school and ask for it to be sent. do the steps the person above me ^ said.
