UCLA transcript request

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>Just some info. Currently on gap year, working. I went to high school in HK. Graduated with IB diploma. I applied for UCLA and UCB in Nov. SAT 2100 (CR: 640, M: 800, W: 660), 3 SAT2s ( Math2: 760 BioE: 700 Phy: 770). So a few weeks back, UCLA sent me an email requesting my unofficial transcript:</p>

<p>Dear Applicant,</p>

<p>We have received your application for admission and are pleased that you are interested in attending UCLA. However, we are unable to continue processing your application for the reason(s) indicated below.</p>

<p>TRANSCRIPT: We need an unofficial copy of all high school transcripts beginning with grade 9. Please fax this information to 310.267.4644, "Attention: high school transcript request - sys - 1583."</p>

<p>Please respond within five days.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>UCLA Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools</p>

<p>Because my school does not follow the american system, so I was indicated not to fill in the grade parts in the application. But none of the other people who applied to the UCs ever got this message before, so I am confused, and UCB did not ask for a transcript. If it helps, I applied to the pre-bizecon of UCLA. I have emailed them asking why, but no response. So I am wondering whether anyone else has had this happen to them? If so, do they know why it was requested?</p>

<p>If you want to go to UCLA, send in the transcript.
If you want to know why and are waiting for an answer, you are jeopardizing the 5 day window of opportunity you have to comply.
The letter states your application is incomplete, so send in the transcript.</p>

<p>Yea I got the same e-mail, i sent my transcripts also. Im starting to think that its the different grading system our schools use because my school also grades on a different scale.</p>

<p>Most UCs ask that applicants with international records to have unofficial copies of the (translated) transcripts on hand in case the admissions office requests them. It happens from time to time and UCLA may have needed the extra information to help make an admission decision.</p>
