<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My counselor uploaded the school report on common app not realizing it was missing my transcript for the first semester of freshman year. (I attended a different HS for the first sem)</p>
<p>So I have mailed in the missing part to each college I'm applying to but was wondering if that's acceptable. My counselor told me that should be completely fine but nearly all the schools have specified that an applicant should either mail in EVERYTHING or submit everything online. not both. </p>
<p>I'm worried the colleges might not consider it.. What should I do?
Should I email each college and make sure they get it?</p>
<p>Please help me! Dx</p>
<p>The best thing now is to email all your colleges individually and explain your circumstance and ask them if you can send in your transcript.
Some colleges have admission tracking sites and/or notify the applicants if they have documents missing from their application, so you could check the sites or wait for the notification if you want to.
But I really think that you should email all your colleges.
Colleges generally won’t think of you badly if your school reports are in a little late or they’re missing parts, because they’re not technically your responsibility.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Don’t worry. As long as your part of the Common App was submitted by the deadline, and the school sent at least some records on time, you are perfectly fine. This happened to my daughter last year. She called all the colleges one by one and let them know, they said send the missing documents, no problem. By the way, they didn’t even ask for her name. </p>
<p>Most wanted the missing material to be faxed, others mailed. Colleges are sorting out application material until the end of January, they are overwhelmed, but anything that arrives now will just be added to the candidates’ files. This is from admissions officers. You can relax.</p>
<p>My counselor was unable to upload all necessary reports in the common application so he uploaded a doc saying that he has already sent the transcripts via mail which was actually true. Please is there a prob with that?</p>
<p>No, especailly with transcripts. I would honestly not mail or call any colleges yet, because they are likely still processing the thousands of files they must go through in a year. If everything else was in on time, schools will notify you if they find your current transcript combination unacceptable, most likely in the beginning of Feburary.</p>
