Sending HS transcripts

<p>Do I need to have my high school physically send a paper copy of my transcripts? Or are they up on the common app where I invited my counselor at? My counselor has everything in except for my end of the year report, so does that mean schools see an official copy of my transcripts with the common app?</p>

<p>Also, I'm not sure if any one here will know the answer to this or not (I've emailed college admissions but have yet to hear back yet). Does anyone know if I need to send my college transcripts? I'm a college in high school student, and my college grades are also on my hs transcripts but only as a letter grade, not decimal. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Yes, my counselor told me that they are able to send transcripts through Common App. If you’re unsure, confirm with your counselor that it was uploaded.</p>

<p>What if my grades aren’t so great this quarter? I’m taking four APs this semester and I might get a D in AP Bio and an F in AP stats, the rest of my grades are about a B. What if I have my teacher write notes for both of those classes? And what if I make up by getting higher grades for the next 3 terms?</p>

<p>You definitely need to verify that your transcript has been sent. The procedure about transcripts varies by school. Some high schools include them with the school report and others send them separately by mail. If your college courses show up on your HS transcript and you are receiving HS credit for them, you do not need to send a separate college transcript.</p>

<p>Well I asked my counselor how the transports were sent and she said that my transcript only has grades from 9-11. Senior grades are sent if they’re interested in a mid-year report and so on. I’m just scared that if they see these grades, they will revoke my application.</p>

<p>You have cause for concern. Low senior year grades or mid-term reports are a big reason applicants are deferred or rejected in early rounds or out-rightly rejected in later rounds. Schools do often ask for senior grades or progress reports. So, get to work studying your Bio and Stats. Those require a good bit of memorization and for most people that means you have to spend time with the material.</p>

<p>On the other hand, rescission is very, very uncommon. Once you are accepted, you would have to really take a sharp downward turn to have that offer rescinded.</p>

<p>So if I did better on the second quarter, would that help at all?</p>
