Hey I got an interview invite, but there it says that we have to send our official transcripts within 15 days!!! That’s next to impossible for Indian students. My university takes good one month to process the transcripts. Also, other universities require official transcripts after giving an admit, why is UCLA asking for them now?

Congratulations on the invite.
Back in my day, you had to submit your transcript during the application process, so you are you are a bit spoiled 😂

Perhaps this is a new policy or a change of policy and maybe they didn’t quite think through it very accurately or carefully. I would contact your undergraduate University and request your transcript and get the timeline. Then I would email the school and notify them about the timeline that you were given and perhaps patted a little bit. I’m sure they will be very understanding.

PS. My guess is that you may not be the only international to receive an interview invite, so perhaps they’ll be others in the same boat.

so i am a reapplicant and i had to go through this last year as well. on receiving interview invites. you need to submit official sealed transcripts.. as an indian i faced the same challenge. i suggest you reach out to the adcom - they will give you an extension. keep them updated. all the best

I am a reapplicant this year.
Last year they sent out a few invites each day. My friend received an interview invite on Oct 31st. So let's not lose hope for now at least.
Not sure about this year.

bb Actually it's somewhat possible for me to send the transcripts, but it's almost impossible to take out the diplomas. UCLA also requires diplomas to be sent from the issuing authority, but it's a tough ask as I am currently posted at a pretty remote location near Myanmar border for work. I have written to the school and asked them if I can send those if admitted to the program.

Anybhatia, did you also send the degree certificate? Or just the transcripts?

I had to eventually send my original degree with a return address .. it is a headache.

Guys, a small query. Though I have not received an interview invite yet, portal on my application shows a message that says submit your official test scores as soon as possible. Is this the case for every one? I hope this is not hindering in my interview invite chances in anyway.
