When are transcripts needed

by raj22 » Wed Aug 04, 2010 3:09 pm
Guys

I'm a little confused about this topic and read through multiple threads but there's no clear answer

I did my undergrad from India but have been based in the states for the last 8 years. Getting transcripts from any university in India isn't an easy task. I'm going to start applying to schools for the first round in Oct and do have the original degree certificate and mark sheet in my possession

Q: Do I need transcripts (sealed envelopes with your marks) from the university at the application stage or are these requested only at the interviewing or when you are finally accepted? I know there's no single answer as different universities have varying policies but would like to hear about what the top 5-10 usually demand

Thank you all!

Hello,

Unfortunately I also have to guide you to check with each school. Some schools allow you to self-report then supply official transcripts if you're admitted. Other schools want official transcripts with the appilcation. You really do have to check with each program.
