<p>I have just found out that D's current school grades and recs only become available after 1/10, but application deadline in top choice school is 1/20/08. I concerned that transcripts will not be there on time. I've tried contacting admissions, but school is on winter break already. </p>
<p>A questions for CC'ers - when do grades/transcripts become availabe at your school? In terms of admission deadlines, are boarding/day schools typically flexible in these situations, where current school teachers don't submit grades until January? Can anything be done about this situation with current school?</p>
<p>I don't think this is going to be a problem. When the bs's open up again, call them and let them know the situation and ask if they could note it. Your d. can also put a note in the application she submits, on time, of course, saying that her school releases records later in the month.</p>
<p>Generally speaking...but call and confirm with specific schools...if your portions of the application are on time, there is no penalty if third parties aren't quite as prompt or meticulous about deadlines, especially if it's out of your control (and you didn't first approach the school a week after the application was due). You definitely need to check and make accommodations if need be. I'm just trying to ease your mind until that's possible.</p>
<p>Thank you, Inq.Mind and D'yer - that part of the application being out of our control is the challenge.. but will definitely heed the advice and contact the school as soon as it's back in session.</p>
