<p>My situation is that my school can't electronically send transcripts. So my counselor told me I can't do the application online and I have to print it out...just because my school can't send transcripts online.
Can't I just do the application online and send the transcript to each school in the mail? Because my intentions were to complete it online the entire time, so if I have to print it out, well..I'd just be angry (mostly because the recommendation letters are a PAIN).</p>
<p>My school cannot send out transcripts electronically to any school out of state, so they just send them by mail with the paper copy of the Secondary School Report. Everything else is online, including teacher recommendations.</p>
<p>I found this …
“Note: Please do not mix-and-match your application, supplement, and payment between online and paper submission. Either submit the application, supplement and payment (or fee waiver) online, or submit them all by mail.”
which says nothing about school forms.</p>
<p>So my counselor can just do the secondary school report portion online and I can mail the official transcripts myself?</p>
<p>Basically, for all the stuff that that you can do on your own, do it all the same way. So that’s the application itself, the supplements, and the payment. But they know that some teachers and counselors prefer to do it online or through the mail, so all the school forms stuff including the transcripts and recs can either be done online or on paper</p>
<p>You mentioned mailing the transcripts yourself. Normally your school should do the transcript mailing. If the school gives you a transcript in a sealed school envelope with a stamp across the flap, that works and you can then put the evelope in the mail. But, either way it needs to be an official transcript in a sealed envelope with a signature or seal across the closed flap, so it isn’t something you can just pop into your own envelope and mail.</p>
