[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Our public high school requires 15 business days after the kid submits an application to then send the transcript and other materials to the college.[/quote]

I know why they do this. But they need to explain. The HS is worrying their materials will show-up and there might not be an application to match it with. High schools would be well served to explain this clearly - and not have people think it takes them all those days to get their job done. DD had apps go in in Aug, so she would have been asking for HS materials as soon as the school year started. Lots of grousing on the part of the HS[/quote]

100% yes!!! Same at our public high school up here in the Midwest.

Both kids and parents find it high maintenance and annoying. Mostly because the school doesn’t explain it well, but also because they’re very stuck in their ways and not willing to get moving earlier on EA applications submitted before 10/8. (Which is dumb because the more they finish processing in September and early October, the fewer they’ll have to deal with when the real crush hits later ….. )

The good news is there’s some extra give in the system. So back to OP, I think you’ll be fine even if your kiddo is a bit late submitting according to the high school’s internal deadline. [/quote]
