<p>Okay guys, here is the situation. I submitted my harvard application for early action consideration a month ago, on October 1st. Everything was submitted by this date including the school forms, recommendations, transcripts, etc. Yesterday though my counselor got an email from cornell (to which I recently applied) saying a part of my transcript was illegible. I spoke to my counselor about this and she is in equal bemusement as to how this came to happen. She says that yes after scanning the transcripts in the first page was darker than the the other pages (as if a shadow was cast on it) but not so dark as to make it illegible. </p>
<p>Now my concern is as follows. Why haven't I gotten an email from Harvard or Yale (to which I also applied for regular admission) saying it's illegible? My harvard status page shows everything as being received and downloaded so could this be a computer glitch only for cornell? Or is cornell simply extra particular about the legibility of their transcripts and pays extra attention as to everything being perfect (I got a chance to look at the transcript yesterday and thought the first page is dark, everything seems perfectly legible).</p>
<p>Should I tell my counselor to send extra copies of transcripts to harvard and yale even though they have not asked for them? Does she do this via post or will emails and fax suffice?</p>
<p>One more thing? When Harvard or the other colleges download apps after submitting it through the common app, do the people that work in the file room actually look at the documents to see if everything is proper? Or do computers simply auto-download the documents and they get stored there until the file is ready for evaluation?</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP guys. If she needs to send the transcript, she would have to post date it by the 4th which means we only have 2 more days!</p>
