A few days ago I got an email from the college to which I applied, basically acknowledging receipt of my two college transcripts. I was a little surprised there was no acknowledgment of my high school transcript, but I figured it was just one of those weird institutional phrasing quirks you run across now and then, since I'd sent all three transcripts in the same cover envelope.
Except today I got an email saying there's a hold on processing my application and I need to send in a high school transcript or equivalent.
Um.
Yeah.
So I sent a reply saying, in a slightly more polite and long-winded form, "I already DID send you a high school transcript. It was in the same envelope as the college transcripts you said you received, so I'm baffled that you don't think you have it. Possibly it got misfiled or accidentally discarded along with the cover envelope! Please double-check just in case, and if you still can't find it, tell me so I can call my high school and have them send you a replacement directly."
This delay may mean I've missed the processing period for the September term and won't be able to start classes until the November term. Which is not the worst fate in the world, but still. Annoying!
