University of Washington and Transcripts

<p>Okay, I'm confused. On October 1st you can start applying, but their website says not to send your transcripts when you apply. </p>

<p>This is from their website''s FAQ: </p>

<p>"I'm a freshman applicant. Should I send transcripts?
NO. At least, not now. Please. </p>

<p>The application asks you to tell us about your academic coursework in detail. IF YOU'RE ADMITTED, WE'LL ASK FOR YOUR TRANSCRIPT LATER." </p>

<p>I don't get it because if you get admitted/rejected in April, how would they know your grades?</p>

<p>They’ll ask for your transcript(s) later. You will fill in everything from your transcript on the application.</p>

<p>Basically, if you get accepted and they find out you faked your grades on your application, they’ll rescind your offer.</p>
