I thought that all the transcripts are supposed to arrive soon after submitting the app. I sent mine right after I submited the app. I could be wrong but i think i saw the instruction once on the website.
UCLA's official guidelines for transcripts:
Quote:
Transcripts
This section is optional and is provided for your convenience.
You may upload a transcript for each school you listed as having attending in the previous section. Note that while we may use unofficial copies for evaluation, we cannot extend an offer of admission to you unless you have provided official transcripts. Please send official copies to the admissions office as soon as possible after submitting for application.
Please follow the instructions below to scan and upload a copy of your transcripts:
• Make a low-resolution photocopy of your transcripts (this will suppress the background which will help reduce the file size)
• Scan the photocopy (experiment with different settings until you find one that results in the smallest file size)
• Save the scanned object as a .jpg file
• Close the .jpg file
• Open Microsoft Word or similar word processing program
• Click on the Insert tab, and do Insert from file or picture
• Browse to your saved .jpg file
• Save your .jpg file as a .doc, .wpd, .rtf, .xls, .pdf, or .txt format. Note: For Macintosh users, please note that the filename must include the appropriate 3 letter extension.
• Do not attempt to upload a document that is password-protected or that contains macros. This will cause the process to fail.
• Check the size of your file before uploading. It cannot exceed 500kb
And what a hell does this admissions' point mean? -

Shall we send it out right after application/ interview? Even if we are not sure that we are admitted?
