mlktwins Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 One more for this morning! I've made a list of each school's document requirements. All say school report, which is the transcript (and course descriptions in this case), correct? Only 1 school out of 10 specifically says Counselor Letter. I know that is separate from the school report. But since the student's counselor letters are in there, they will go to each school applied to, correct? We are all Common App applications here. There isn't any reason not to submit them to all the schools? They all say final report, some say mid-year report. No problem. Only 4 of 10 are requesting a mid-year report, but that is a worry for another day :-). Even though we only have 1 school that requires a teacher LOR, all our schools will get them except for 1 that won't look at them even if they are sent. For us, we have not considered optional. Thank you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eos Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Oh my, I haven't looked at the Common App for quite a while - the counselor section is very different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a transcript and course descriptions, pick 2 transcripts and make the 1st one your transcript and the 2nd one your course descriptions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, I just tried this and the course descriptions is still too big to upload. I've contacted support but I'm cranky. I spun off her math transcripts into their own file, still didn't help.

What size is your original document (is it in Word)? And what is it compressing to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are allowed to compress it. How big is your original file? I posted this question on here - I think the Panic thread.

What font did you use? Oddly, there is a difference in file size for different fonts when saving as a pdf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Arial, but there's part of the transcript (the part I hate) that has a different font that I don't know its name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
