How long will it take?

Applying to College
1

<p>I sent in my application to KU in early January, and my ACT scores were already there. I did a special program here in Missouri that combines a GED and a HSD, so I assumed I had to go through the state to get my transcripts. So about 2 weeks after the request was sent, which was about 1 week after I sent in my application, I get a letter from the state saying they do not have my scores on file, and that all transcripts I have are at my school.</p>

<p>I was irritated by this, and called the state department of education to figure things out, and all they told me after a bunch of waiting was to contact my school. So I did, and they told me to submit a transcript request form like everybody else. My Missouri Option teacher was perplexed by this, but I was probably the only student she's ever had actually going to college after doing MO Options, so it's understandable that she didn't know this.</p>

<p>I sent in my transcript request about... a week and a half to two weeks ago. I don't know how long it takes to send out my transcripts, but I'm assuming 3-4 days. It should have arrived.</p>

<p>Any idea how long it's going to take to send me my acceptance/rejection letter?</p>

<p>I got a rejection for the Honors Program at KU, so I don't know what that means. Would they even bother sending that if I wasn't accepted to the school?</p>

<p>1) Call your HS and ask when it was that they sent the transcripts.</p>

<p>2) Call KU and ask if they have received them.</p>

<p>Re-read your letter from KU carefully. If you were admitted to the U but not to Honors, that should be clearly stated. If it isn’t, you need to find out if your regular application is still pending or not.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>

<p>Thanks. I’ll call my high school. I sent them many e-mails, but nobody responded. That’s probably because we have a long weekend, so the school has been closed.</p>

<p>As for the letter, I don’t remember where I put it, but I remember it specifically saying something about Honors students not getting accepted in high school, but gaining acceptance after freshman year. I would re-read it… but I need to find it first.</p>
