<p>Q1: will colleges refuse to process your app if you have 1 aspect of it missing... will they give you a heads up so that you can send it again if it got lost or something?...</p>
<p>Q2: And what'll happen if you've taken a course for college credit but don't send them the official transcript?</p>
<ol>
<li>no idea</li>
<li>you probably just don't get credit.</li>
</ol>
<p>1 - Some colleges do, some don't. Be proactive - check on these things yourself.</p>
<ol>
<li> The college won't know you took the course (unless for some reason it is on your high school transcript).</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>Yes. But, they will send you notice via email or regular mail to tell you what's missing.</p></li>
<li><p>I'd report it. If you need aid, might win a scholarship, may be in the local paper, etc...others will find out. If your college EVER finds out, they can expell you or, if you've already earned a degree, they can take it from you.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Q1: They will email you if anything is missing, or it wont show up on the online tracking. On the other hand.. If its Cornell or Johns Hopkins.. they will lose your stuff and not tell you...</p>
<p>^ add WUSTL to that list. Only WUSTL tells you that they lost everything, and had no way to contact you until it's to late, so they withdraw your application. (still puzzles me tho how they have no way to contact you yet send an email saying this)</p>
<p>I didnt apply there... but Cornell lost my fin aid application and my Common app supplement and a reco.. and I fouind out when I emailed them...</p>
<p>It took them 3 weeks to reply and then I realize... That was the point where I decided im not going to Cornell anyways...</p>
<p>I'm sorry to hear about people's bad experiences. With my daughter, two schools were missing score reports and another was missing a recommendation. They all let us know, duplicates were sent, and problems were solved.</p>
<p>I guess you need to check with the specific colleges themselves to see how they handle these situations. I have heard of people including addressed postcards with everything so that the colleges could acknowledge receipt. We FedExed everything. It helps if you can prove receipt. (There was one application that a college said it didn't receive, but I had the FedEx delivery information and so they "doublechecked" and found it ...)</p>
<p>I would think that a failure to send a college transcript would be deemed an incomplete application. The applications my kids did all required such courses to be listed and transcripts to be sent. Of course, it wasn't necessary to send official transcripts when applying to the colleges they took the courses at.</p>
