Whose Responsibility?

The way the process works is UNC Chapel Hill requests the final transcript from the HS and they comply. Guidance counselors sent the transcript to the wrong state school campus all the time.

This is easily proven by the fact that Chapel Hill has the intial transcript. There would be no explanation for the change.

Your DD didn't 'mis select' anything.

+1 I can't believe it took 3 pages to get here. If UNC has the first transcript, they come back and ask for the last transcript. OP's DD isn't even involved at this point. It's all between the HS and the college.

The only explanation is the counselor is lying to cover his ass.

This is not the way it worked for my child. He had to request a final transcript be sent to the school he was attending. I assume the process is pretty automated. Student selects the school which has a code. HS electronically sends the form as requested. There is no one putting the transcript in an envelope and noticing that an earlier one went to a different campus.

+1 My kid had to go into the form and request the final transcript to be sent. Initial transcripts were sent through the Common App, the final transcript was in a different form with the one school they decided to attend. My kid is the one who has to identify which of the schools he was admitted to he is planning on attending and wants the final transcript sent.

Our FCPS school made students fill out a form (you could type it in or hand write) and they had staff key things in. This helped parents make sure the kids put down the right school and kids later verify if what they turned in is what was entered into the system. They also forced kids to provide updates for each school and which school they were attending eventually. Seemed like unnecessary work vs. just letting kids enter themselves but we are sure happy with the checks and balances.

You should have a stern talk with the manager of the HS and DD.

With big public universities, you get what you pay for.

Lol sure you need to justify that $90k we get it friend.

And what then justifies the 90k oos for UVA or Michigan?

NP
I’m still trying to figure that out

Glad it worked out. A guy from my high school lost his seat and a scholarship because the transcript was held until the last day of summer. Spent a year "at home" trying deal with that.

Why do you care about blame in a situation that will never happen again and has been fixed? You shouldn't. You are focusing on the wrong issues.

The problem was fixed. Move on.

Again, the counselor has no responsibility to endure they are sending it to the correct school? My DD has no access to anything to verify and if an error this large is this easy to make you'd think the school would be looking precisely for this because it must happen all the time.

I'm incredulous that my DD was the only senior of several hundred in her class to make such a simple mistake.

We have moved on but I want to know what happened.

Is it a big public? No way is any counselor going to take responsibility for more than doing the job that is asked: sending the transcript to the selected school.

It's a huge deal and caused a ton of stress for my DD as she also got the email that her admission was on hold. It's the middle of July. Admissions are closed. Had they simply retracted her offer she would up a creek without a paddle. She had already done her housing and established contact with her roommate. This isn't a whoopsie daisy.

You are upset about something that didn't happen. What happened was a clerical error that was promptly fixed and all is right in the world.

So it’s not the kid’s fault for picking the wrong school on a drop down menu, it’s the kid’s fault for picking UNC to enroll in. 😂

OP here.

Well, the majority of you are not only rude af, but you are wrong. The college AO called us to say everything was squared away and nothing more was needed " after the HS corrected their error"

They admitted to them that they sent it to the wrong school.

Because I'm going to have someone tell lies about my daughter. That's why. And maybe it will save some other family the same headache.

This did not happen bc the college did not speak to the HS office nor did the HS send anything other than the end of year transcript.

Now that one is heading off, you should think about some counseling.

Well, aren’t you relieved that this horrific slander of your child has been cleared up? I hope you lawyer up and show your daughter how go after every millimeter of what she is owed in this world.
