<p>I cant believe i forgot to send my school transcript. I didnt realize that the counselor report didnt include sending the transcript. Caltech never emailed me to tell me it was missing and i didnt realize it until i sent it to another college. I applied early decision so what should I do now other than send the transcript asap?</p>
<p>call and email the admissions office/ your admissions rep asap!!! and let them know you are sending it overnight. it may be too late for ED consideration, so hopefully they will roll your application over to the regular round. Ask if this will be the case.</p>
<p>Isn't the secondary school report supposed to contain the counselor report, school transcript and school profile? How will the colleges ascertain the authenticity of the transcript if it is not part of the secondary school report? I've not seen any indication of a separate transcript at any of the applications I've done so far.</p>
<p>Look at the common app secondary school report form. I can't remember for sure, but doesn't it ask the counselor to send a transcript? Our high school transcripts have a raised seal on them so I'm guessing that is to give it some authenticity whether it's sent by the counselor or the student. I wouldn't panic yet, I'm guessing they would have sent you an email if they didn't get it. Did you get an email saying your application was complete?</p>
<p>OK, I just looked at the form and it asks the counselor to attach the current transcript to the secondary school report form. Any reason to think that was not done?</p>
<p>Any document that is not sent by the source can be compromised, so according to our GC Recomendations, Secodnary School Reports (including transcripts, GC recomendations, school profile), SAT scores all should not be sent by applicant. In case of missing documents school is suppose to fax and not the applicant.</p>
<p>I asked my counselor today and she said that she sent the transcript in some form(that i cant remember) on the counselors report she did. I sent it through my school today anyway though (in case caltech wants a hard copy also?!?!!?!)
I did not get an email telling me that my application was complete...</p>
<p>You should probably check out the thread here with a title something liike "Application is Complete, Decisions will be Mailed 12/15." It appears they should send you an email either saying your app is complete or what you are missing. There are some links in that thread. Good luck.</p>
<p>I guess it didnt matter that i sent the hard copy transcript. My counselor did attach the transcript- i didnt know that they could on the common app online. I dont know why i have not received a completion e-mail yet though. Whatever, i'm not too worried about it- i just need to have a perfect application for Northwestern, Yale and RPI in two weeks.</p>
