Sending your final transcripts to colleges

<p>I'm worried my guidance office might screw up and not send my transcripts on time. I've already submitted a transcript request form at my guidance office and told them where to send it and by what date. But still, the secretaries at the office aren't the brightest people.</p>

<p>Do you think that a college will actually withdraw their admissions offer to someone if they don't get their final transcript in on time? Or will most colleges notify you that they didn't get it and have you send it again? Also, is there a way for your college to notify you that they received your transcript?</p>

<p>Most colleges will let you know if they don’t get the final transcript, but that is so standard I would be surprised if your GC did not follow through.</p>

<p>Ummmm… stop worrying. Your college has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on getting a great incoming class – and they’ll just casually chuck you aside for a potential clerical oversight? Is this how well run you believe your college is? Then you should withdraw and find one not staffed by morons.</p>

<p>My son needed an “official HS transcript” for something not school related, though I can’t remember what it was. We called and stopped by the HS main office over the summer and the secretary just printed it off the computer. </p>

<p>In the meantime, drop off a stamped self-addressed envelope to the guidance dept and ask that they send you a copy too.</p>
