<p>because they check it if and after they accept you to see if you lied or not? thx</p>
<p>You don’t have to send the transcripts until they accepted you and you decided to go to their school.</p>
<p>And just a piece of advice: If you do get accepted and do decide to go to UCSD, then by jove, make sure they actually get your transcript I and several other people here very nearly got rescinded because UCSD claimed that they never received our transcripts. Getting that letter was one of the worst feelings of my life.</p>
