How come the common app doesn’t ask for grades? I’m transferring from a california community college and there’s nothing on the application where it asks me for all my grades. will USC ask for them AFTER i submit my common app? all im seeing is that they’re going to ask for my spring grades by may 31st, but what about my grades prior?
That is why you submit a transcript.
yeah i was just confused because the rest of the schools ive applied to are UCs and they require that I submit all courses and grades during the application process and i have to wait for them to ask before i send official transcripts
The UCs are public schools dealing with giant numbers and they don’t want to be inundated with papers they don’t need until after the student is admitted and they use it to verify the info supplied. Works the same during the regular admission cycle as well, you don’t send info to UCs until later. For USC, you send in grades and test scores when available, generally speaking. (In the freshman admit cycle, some wait to send AP scores, to not have the expense till they are in and attending, but otherwise usually send transcripts and other test scores in when available to do so).
