So Tepper would like official transcripts, and the deadline is fast approaching. Most of the other schools i'm applying to didn't require "official ones". I was able to input my own transcript and pending admission an "offical" would need to be submitted to ensure they match up... So i don't have a bunch of "offical" transcripts lying around, sealed and ready to mail off. I might get lukcy and get one quick enough that I can overnight it to meet the upcoming deadline. Do you think this is a deal breaker for applying R2?? I really want to get my app off in R2 and not have to go through R3, which i hear is always much more difficult to gain admission. Has anybody talked with CMU about this at all, maybe somebody had this happen in RD1? I have an official one i could scan in, but i can't send that one, myself, it's not sealed and clearly shows the date i recieved it (back in 2003 for my current employeer to see). I have put a request for officals to go to CMU and to my home address from my school, but the office which supplies them only came back to work from the holidays today... Just not sure if it's enough time.
advice?
Where do you work? And what employer wanted to see your transcript?
You should post this question on their message board. In the meantime, I would send out the official transcripts now. Most schools have an overnight delivery. It'll take them a week or so to match all the documents.
