Transcripts
How many transcripts does your school allow your s/d to request to be sent to colleges ? Do they charge for additional ones and if so how much do they charge ?

At our old high school, they would send no more than 8 and would reflect that fact in the GC letter- so the colleges would know that the kid was serious about applying to their school.

My son's school sends 8 for free and anything over that has a small fee but I forget how much since he applied to exactly 8 schools.

Wow...8 . I learned tonight that our high school will send up to 3 free. After that they charge $3.00/ea.

I'm thinking ours does 3 or 5....D weaseled a couple directly from her GC last year when she needed them for scholarships, instead of going through the proper rules, filling out the required form, and giving to the transcript Nazi in the guidance office.

Three for free each semester, then it's $2 per transcript.

my counselor didn't know that sending a transcript to private colleges before you get in was standard procedure.

my school sucks.

Infinite numbers at no cost, as far as I know.

Only 1 free per academic year at our public HS; I think the charge is $3 each after that

The high school here doesn't put any limit on the number. There is no cost.

No charge, but I think if a student wanted like 30, they might be a little annoyed.

Thanks for all of the replies. I went to our College Planning Night last night. They showed us the form that the kids have to fill out to have their transcripts sent but no mention of how many they could request....so I asked during the Q & A session. Three just didn't seem like many so I was curious as to what other schools allow.
Thanks again.

Our public high school sends unlimited transcripts out for free - sometimes same day if they have the time. It never occurred to me that there might be a limit or a charge.
They also send out college applications and pay the postage.
