Good morning, all. We had an interesting thing happen recently and I thought I might mention it in case it happens to others. My son applied to 2 schools over the summer and requested that transcripts be sent via Naviance. We assumed that
.the transcripts wouldn’t be sent until after school was back in session. About 10 days in to the new semester, I checked Naviance under transcripts and it said pending. After 2 weeks it still said pending. I shot an email to the counselor and she said they were still verifying the information for the new sr class and transcripts would start being mailed the following week. About 10 days later, Naviance said “sent” under transcripts.
Fast forward 3 weeks. We still had not heard a thing from either university so my son called admissions. As a side note, both schools are state schools and both are considered safe schools based on his stats. Neither school had received the transcripts. I shot an email to the counselor at his high school and asked about it. The counselor confirmed that they had been sent out and offered to resend them. An hour later, an admissions counselor from 1 called to confirm receipt of his transcripts. Within a week, both schools had sent emails welcoming him to their schools.
The point of all this is a reminder that just because a counselor says transcripts were sent, and just because Naviance confirms they were sent, and just because I’m trying so hard to not be an obsessive mom, sometimes it really is a good thing to double and triple check that all the gears are turning.
