Does a high school know what college accepts or rejects the student or it is a self reporting?
No. They only know if the student reports the result.
Often, your school won’t know unless you tell them. This is especially true of WL activity after the decision date. Your hs will know where they need to send your transcripts, so they will be sure of one acceptance.
At some schools, the CC may be involved at a level where the uni will notify them of the decision, sometimes before the student! This is far more common at private schools where the CC may want to be prepared for a parent who has been a big donor to his college to come storming in when junior was turned down in spite of those ties.
And at some schools - ours was like this - it was seen as paying it forward to make sure your CC had accurate information on decisions. Applicants benefit enormously from good data when they are deciding where to apply, and the CCs do a better job when they have this info.
At some schools, students populate their own naviancedecisions. At others, the ccs do it to ensure it is done and accurate.
This is a long answer for "it depends ".
Agree with the above. Adding that for waitlisted students a good GC can make a huge difference…by calling the AO, finding out the lay of the land, and advocating for the student. Students should always ask their GCs to do this, unfortunately at some schools the caseloads make this difficult.
If it is a self reporting, which uni will receive the final transcript will be per student request. Is it correct?
Your student will need to request the final transcript be sent and indicate which ONE school it needs to be sent to.
If the student does come off a waitlist, the college will send that final transcript as well but at our school, they asked if the student had declined the first acceptance before they would send another transcript to the waitlist school.
Why can’t a student order and send a sealed transcript to a college by student oneself?
Our (public HS) knew every acceptance our S had. Don’t know how, but they did. They also published a list of all the schools that offered acceptances to the seniors.
You absolutely can, if whatever system your school uses includes that option. I agree that you should share your results and ultimate decision with your counselor even if you aren’t required to, however, as it’s good information for future students at your high school.
Colleges will typically only accept final transcripts directly from the HS. What is the difference if the HS mails the final transcript or the student? Regardless check the rules of the college you are asking about.
Most HSs have policies and procedures in place that ensure only one final transcript is sent for graduating seniors as thumper said. So, if a college accepted a transcript in a sealed envelope mailed by the student…the HS is still only going to give your student one of those.
HSs will send a second final transcript for schools if a student gets off a waitlist. Probably this year a school would send a second transcript to a June 1 deadline school, if the student deposited elsewhere earlier, and changed their mind.
Either way the student has to withdraw their enrollment at the first school they deposited to, and will likely forfeit the deposit money.
I can order one sealed transcript from a high school without problem. The high school does not know what school a student will go unless the student tells the school, right? How can the high school mail the final transcript for the college? Does all the colleges report the high school about the acceptance and directly request the admitted student’s financial transcript?
Are you still trying to figure out how to double deposit and enroll at two schools?
But some people have reported it is a self reporting about acceptance and the high school will send the final transcript per a student request. Don’t know weather the high school knows the rejection from the college.
My experience has been that the GCs do not know what the college apps outcomes are are. It’s not a 100% thing; sometimes GCs have relationships with GCs where the info is leaked.
At my kids’ schools, the GCs’ offices requested letters of the outcomes because too much of the self reported info was not correct. This was not a command performance— totally elective.
My D’s counselors seemed to know about the outcomes. (Private high school).
Her college would only accept transcripts directly from her high school and her DE college. We had some issues getting her DE transcript and they were firm about them coming directly from the school.
There would have been no way to get the school to send two final transcripts unless there was a wait list situation.
Just be honest and do the right thing.
If a student applies via the Common App, the final report is sent by the counselor. I do not see that competitive college will accept a hard copy transcript from a student, and the will definitely not accept an electronic one. Changing a transcript is far easier than what many of the parents did in the college admissions scandal.
Moreover, I would guess that a college would be interested in knowing why you are sending your final report by yourself, after your counselor sent all the other material.
I am a public school counselor and have worked in multiple high schools in different states. That information is self reported. We do a Senior exit survey and capture that information there.
At our high school, students are supposed to go into naviance and update whether they were rejected or accepted at each school. They are also supposed to select the college they will be attending, and that is what triggers the high school to send the final transcript.
If a college receives a final transcript directly from the student rather than the high school, they are going to wonder why. I’m not sure if they would accept it that way.
Yes, many colleges inform schools of acceptance/rejection/waitlist decisions.
This depends on individual counselors, the relationships they have with schools and how much outreach they are willing to do.
For high schools that use and colleges that participate in Slate, the school can log in to their slate account and see if students have been accepted/rejected.
CUNY just sent a report out yesterday to all NYC high schools on Friday listing all students from their schools who have applied to CUNY and the decision outcomes (this has been happening for over a decade) and is dine automatically.
Individual SUNY schools send out results list to counselors. You can request them if from your regional admissions person you don’t get them automatically
There are many private schools that send application results to high schools. Again, if your counselor has a relationship with their regional admissions person, all they have to do is ask.
Counselors can call schools and request a status report on their students.
Many schools require post secondary plans, at the NYC DOE, you must include a post secondary plan in order to discharge a student as a high school graduate.
The high school will send out one final transcript to a college.
The final transcript will need to be a sealed document that has the graduation date and discharge date (this year the documents will be accepted via the school’s email).
Yes, you can. At my high school, we do not give official transcripts to families. You fill out a request regarding who needs the transcript and the school mails out the transcript.
If you are insistent on a sealed transcript, we will stamp it student copy/not official transcript and place it in a sealed envelope for you.
