Hi, if something similar was posted I apologize but I couldn’t find anything when searching.
I am planning on transferring and was wondering when I should send my high school and college transcripts? Would it matter if I sent them before I sent my application? Thank you!
Some schools told me that they don’t record documents until you submit your application. I don’t think that is true. I sent a lot of my stuff beforehand and haven’t had any issues. I think you’ll be fine if you submit it earlier than your application.
Realistically, they DO hold whatever documents come their way (though probably for a couple of days, at most). If you want to know the optimal time to send your stuff, you could always call the institution(s) you’re applying to and inquire about it.
Best of luck!
