<p>So I took a course at UC Irvine over the summer, and I luckily managed to get an A. I was wondering if I was required to submit an official transcript from UC to the 10 or so colleges I've applied to. Is it enough to just have the grade self reported? Because it costs $15 per school, and $150 is a lot just to prove you got an A in a course. My plan was to just submit to the schools I'm most interested in, but am I being too cheap?</p>
<p>If the colleges require you to send transcripts, then yes, you must send all of them. However, some schools (like UCs) don’t require transcripts until after you’ve been accepted–and you SIR to them, so that might save you some money.</p>
<p>I have no idea how to check if the college requires me to send in transcripts of college courses taken in high school. It’s a really unwieldy phrase to search on google. For example, if I type “college courses taken in high school transcript cornell”, one of the 1st page results is this very thread.</p>
<p>Could someone help me determine which of these schools require me to send in transcripts?
MIT, Columbia, Princeton, Cornell, Harvard, Caltech, Chicago, UPenn, Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I would only send a transcript of the class/course and grade once excepted for admission. And only to the one I want to attend.</p>
<p>Most of those are CA schools. Read what the CA says under where you list your college coursework. The old CA had a statement that college transcripts should be sent ASAP, I don’t have access to the new CA and so don’t know if it’s the same. If in doubt, call/email the schools.</p>
<p>If you want the colleges to consider the grade in the college course (and since you reported it already), you should submit a transcript. Some schools don’t want transcripts up front, but for those that do, send your college transcripts in addition to the high school ones. We had to do the same thing for S who took 2 classes at a local college. The were only $5 each, but it does add up.</p>
<p>S only sent the transcript from the college when it was time to gt credit for them. He definitely didn’t as part of the app process, though his were dual and the grades reported on his HS transcript as well.</p>
