Some college application questions for regular decision

<p>When do high schools send your transcripts to colleges? Do they include senior year grades?
Do I send my application with my transcript or does the transcript come separately?</p>

<p>Sorry, I'm just a paranoid upcoming senior.</p>

<p>Haha I’m getting paranoid as well. </p>

<p>The transcript goes separately, I believe. You need to tell your guidance department to send the transcript to the addresses of the undergraduate admissions of each of the colleges (verify where the colleges want it sent by their website).</p>

<p>The mid-year transcript is sent after the first semester, about the time you are finishing up with apps and the final transcript is sent to the school(s) you will likely matriculate to.</p>

<p>So for regular decision the 1st semester grades of your senior year will be calculated into your overall GPA and colleges will look at them?</p>

<p>^^^^yes, if the dates work out. If you app is due on Jan 1 and final first semester grades don’t come out until the first or second week of January then your end of Junior year transcript gets sent with your application. If this is the case, they YOU have to request your GC send the 1st semester senior stats.</p>
