<p>So I'm applying to Marymount Manhattan and I found lying about my house an extra envelope with my transcripts that I never used. Will Marymount Manhattan accept these seeing as it is nearly April and the transcripts are from before January? Or, should I just order newer ones from school? </p>
<p>I'm asking because I've been fighting the urge to just open these transcripts to look at it for fun. Heheh!</p>
<p>So, can I use them or are they essentially "expired" at this point?</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to call the admissions office at Marymount Manhattan and ask them? After all, we’re just a bunch of strangers on the Internet. My only real qualification to answer your question is that I have FiOS.</p>
<p>As for the other issues in this thread:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The colleges that my daughter applied to did seem to expect transcripts to be sent directly from the applicant’s high school. I, too, am surprised that you have extras lying around your house.</p></li>
<li><p>There shouldn’t be a whole lot on it that’s a surprise. I mean, you already got your report cards, right? But there’s nothing to stop you from ordering a copy of your high school transcript for yourself at any time.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Or is the thing that you have lying around your house not just a transcript, but the entire secondary school report, including the school letter from your guidance counselor? Assuming that you waived your right to see it, it would be totally wrong to open that.</p>
<p>My school makes you order them and then gives them to you so that YOU can personally send them out. The envelopes all have our school’s official seal on them. And I’m quite positive the envelope just contains the transcripts.</p>
<p>I guess it would be a better idea to call or send an email to Marymount. I just asked here because it’s the weekend and I wanted a quick opinion.</p>
<p>I do get that, Genny. But on the other hand, you seem to get that the only folks who can give you an answer that you can count on are the people at Manhattan Marymount.</p>
<p>Oh, and…they give the transcripts to the students? How odd!</p>
