Basic Transcript Questions

Question

1. Is it okay if I include all of my transcripts together in one Fed-Ex package as long as they are signed and official? 

2. Will schools be confused if they receive transcripts before I submit an application? Should I include a brief letter explaining why they are receiving these, or is it common sense? I'm paranoid that they will look up my name, not see anything, and simply throw them away.

Sending it all in 1 package is good.

Not to belabor the point, but many schools have a ONE PACKET RULE. Following the rules is good.

no, no big sad eyes necessary.

One packet means putting everything you're sending to them (all transcripts, recommender letters, minimuffins, etc) in one packet. It's ok. That's what you're doing.

(But don't send the mini muffins. I'm kidding about that.)

how was your drive?

I'm starting to think you enjoy toying with my emotions.

Eh, drive was okay. The apps were ready, which is all I cared about. I also made a stop by the store to pick up the all-important pancakes for deadline day. Okay, time to re-read my essays for the 17,349th time.
