<p>to send your transcript before your application?
because i'm applying online and havent finish the essay yet
and my school takes forever to send the transcript
in case they recieve my transcript before my application
that would be no big deal right?</p>
<p>you'd be fine as long as it's relatively close together. Don't do them months apart.</p>
<p>This is not an issue. When a college receives any information about you, they open a file for you, whether it's an application, a transcript, or a letter of recommendation. My D asked for all of her letters to be sent in by her teachers, all transcripts, and all GC letters in early October to all of the schools on her list. If she gets in to her EA school, she probably will not complete the rest of the applications and the schools will toss these. If she doesn't, they will already be at the respective schools waiting for her finished application.</p>
