<p>For the UC and Cal state systems
I am unsure of exactly how we are supposed to send our grades.
Do we send them by the application deadline?
When can we send them by?
And does anybody know how they have to be sent for the private schools?</p>
<p>You self-report grades in the application for both UCs and CSUs. You don’t send a transcript until you have a final transcript in June, which you send to college you will be attending. </p>
<p>For other colleges, you need to check the particular rules for each but vast majority require an official transcript sent by your high school and you need to specifically request your high school or high school counselor to do that. If you wait until last minute to make that request it may be too late because high schools often take a week or longer to actually send a transcript after a request and high schools in the US tend to be closed over Christmas week and your counselor, through whom you need to make the request, may be somewhere out-of-the-country on vacation during that week.</p>
