Hello,

All this while, I was under the impression that academic transcripts mean my
degree certificate and a consolidated mark sheet. With barely a month to go
for R1 deadlines of many of the colleges, I think I have made a mistake. Can
somebody clarify

- what is the format of an official transcript
- can somebody post a sample transcript ?
- I did my under-graduation in Engineering from India. I have mark sheets for
all the 8 semesters (~2 semesters/year) with the final semester mark sheet
showing the individual subject marks for the 8-th semester and consolidated
marks for each semester till seventh semester. I also have a degree certificate.
Can the above be considered transcripts ?

- Can I request somebody from India who is applying to also weigh in with their
suggestions ?

Thanks,

Also, the mark sheets have the university seal and signature from the
controller of examinations.

Thanks

Yes, your mark sheets are your transcripts. If your final semester mark sheet
shows the individual subject marks for the 8-th semester and consolidated
marks for your previous semesters , you should submit that along with your degree certificate.

I do not think you have anything to worry about.

Hi,
I think that when submitting the application you can just upload a scan/copy of unofficial transcript, and only if admitted you'll need to provide the official transcripts, so you might have some more time.

Hi,
So, how does the unofficial transcript differs from the official one..?

Thanks,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
