I was just wondering about how NMSC was going to receive my transcript, and I was wondering if this was part of the process online or if a physical copy was required. What exactly does your school official do in their portion of the app, besides the recommendation?
NMSC gets everything digitally. There is no paper (usually). The school inputs the classes they offer and selects the highest level classes (AP, IB, Honors, etc) for their school profile. Then, for your specific applucation, they use the previous list (from the entered school profile) to show which classes you took 9th-11th grade years and put your grades in for each. Then, they enter your 12th grade classes in progress and planned classes.
So, it goes into a very specific template and everyone’s file looks similar (except for the details).
Good luck!
