Hey guys, so I’m currently a sophomore at a 4-year private university waiting to transfer. My school operates on a quarter system, so I’m currently in finals week for my winter quarter. My overall GPA is around a 3.2, but this quarter I worked very hard to get good grades so it can bump my cumulative up for the 4/1 schools. My question is, when do schools expect to receive transcripts? For the earlier deadlines, I’ve always sent them in before Common App deadlines. However, for the 4/1 schools, I want to wait until my Spring Quarter grades are in to send them out so my overall GPA is higher on my transcript. The quarter ends this coming week (3/23) and grades will probably be in a few days after 4/1. Will it be okay to send in my transcripts after the 4/1 Common App deadlines? Thanks!!!
FYI, I’m expecting around a 3.8 for this quarter, so it will actually make a pretty significant different in my overall GPA.
I’m almost certain all schools provide around 2-3 weeks after the application deadline to submit your supporting documents (transcripts, etc.), but if you want to absolutely make sure, you should give the 4/1 schools a call and inquire about a document submission “deadline”.
Best of luck!
@TransferStalker will do. thanks!
