Late Transcripts

Applying to College
1

<p>I'd decided that I wanted to apply to two colleges about a week before their deadlines, which was Jan.1st.</p>

<p>After submitting the application, I realized that I had never requested the school to send in the transcript/secondary school report to those two institutions....
The first day of school is on the 4th, since we are still on our winter break.</p>

<p>Do you think colleges will still consider my application, even if the transcripts were post marked 3 days after the deadline?</p>

<p>I am thinking of having my counselor have a note saying that the previous one got lost in the mail... but it was never post marked before the 1st, and this is why I am very concerned. </p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>Don’t make your counselor lie! You’ll be fine. This happens all the time.</p>

<p>Lying is not a good idea…as soon as you get back to school, have your counselor send out those forms ASAP.
And, so long as your colleges receive your application, they won’t mind too much if your transcripts etc are missing, granted that they’ll arrive sooner or later (but not too late). Multiple counselors tell me this all the time.</p>

<p>ok, THANK YOU! :)</p>
