Thanks luisoc1985 for posting this. However I am surprised to find out we need to send hard copies of the original transcripts? Is this what all schools do? I mean can I ask my school for more than one original transcript? Even if my school gives me one, it will take almost a month for me to get the transcript. Then how can I mail this to the USA with in one month? I am new to this process. So please bear with me. Anyone?
Best,
Prodizy

Indeed, it seems like the adcom is working hard. I sent the app 1 week before deadline, but that's extremely quick anyway.
I'm not in the US and will use skype, so no relation with being close to LA. Skype interviews start next week and mine will be in about 10 days.
