<p>the counselors at my school are overworked and they are slow to respond to transcript requests, esp. ones this early</p>
<p>so will sending my transcripts a little later affect anything, other than when they send out the decision letter?</p>
<p>From what I know of your stats, it is okay if your transcripts arrive later in the year ie November or early December. Many students haven’t even started applying to schools yet. That said, it would be nice to have an acceptance in hand, so I would politely ask your school to get your transcript out ASAP.</p>
<p>You won’t be hurt by late transcripts, but as SEA_Tide suggests, a polite request to get your transcript out would help speed things up.</p>
<p>Since you’re in Calif and all the UC and Cal State apps will be due in about 6 weeks, I would think that they are less busy NOW and will be MORE busy in a few weeks.</p>
<p>that’s what i was thinking…</p>
