"When you create an account on the Common App Online, you must first indicate what
high school you attend. Once this information has been saved, you can access a 'School
Forms' section of the Common App where teachers and counselors can be identified. By
adding a teacher or counselor to the list of school officials, an email is triggered to the
teacher or counselor with information about how to log into the Online School Forms
system or how to opt for the "offline" or paper process. You are then able to track the
progress of your teachers and counselors via a screen within the Common App Online.
o Confirm with your teachers and counselor that they have received the email invitation."

I have got my transcripts for class 9th, 10th, 11th(all with school and college stamps)
I changed my school after 10th (ICSE-SSC)
In the common app I have added my class 9th and 10th counsellor !
Question 1) how will I upload my class 11 transcript
2) i got a 55/100 in physics in class 11 but I was among the top 5 ( will less score affect my chances in elite universities)
3) is class 11 marksheet to be uploaded with the transcript?
I scored a 1310 on the SAT in May 2016 but wasn't able to apply due to my pre boards. I am taking SAT II in May (Math 2, Physics and Chemistry) and re taking the SAT in October. (June SAT has been canceled). I also plan to take my AP exams in May too.
As for my extracurriculars I will be doing voluntary work along with making my own internet content. ( If you have any suggestions as to what else I can do please leave them below! )
Do I have to also send my 12th boards mark sheet? Also I had changed schools in class 10, so my high school year has been split into 9 and 10th at one school and 11th and 12 at another. Do i have to send my 9th and 10th transcripts under a different envelope or do i send it with my 11th and 12th one?
What Ive read in other discussions is that your current guidance councillor will put all your grades ( 9,10,11,12th) in one document and I have to send a sealed stamped copy to the Universities I am applying to.
Looking forward to interact with you and hopefully see you in the US.
Are you sending your transcripts by post? You don't have to usually - at least not until you're admitted. If you're applying through CommonApp, your counselor will have to upload it online. If it's not through CommonApp, then different universities have different procedures which you'll have to check in their websites.
