Using OSCAR transcript for firms
My school's registrar takes a long time to provide unofficial transcripts. For mass-mailing emails, is it acceptable to use my OSCAR transcript instead of one provided by the school?

Re: Using OSCAR transcript for firms
Never heard of this. Our registrar can produce an unofficial transcript about a day after you request it. Pretty sure your school is the anomaly here.sparkytrainer wrote:At my t13, my law school literally tells us to do so.runinthefront wrote:I've literally never heard of law students drafting their own unofficial law school transcripts.

But hey, if your school tells everyone to do it, guess that's what OP should do.
Or we're being trolled.

Re: Using OSCAR transcript for firms
Seems like the word thing is unusual, but any input on the original question? Any reason this would be harmful? I want to get apps out before Tuesday or Wednesday when I would get my transcript.

Re: Using OSCAR transcript for firms
I guess that works. But why can't you just take a screenshot of whatever webpage lists your grades/GPA and then save as a pdf?Anonymous User wrote:Seems like the word thing is unusual, but any input on the original question?

Yea, this is what I did. It's not like the firm cares as long as the grades are accurate.runinthefront wrote:I guess that works.

Re: Using OSCAR transcript for firms
my school does this to and even provides a word doc to fill in your grades. i am so paranoid about marking one wrong that i just screen shot the grade viewer app or whatever though. it also is 1000x easier.sparkytrainer wrote:At my t13, my law school literally tells us to do so.runinthefront wrote:I've literally never heard of law students drafting their own unofficial law school transcripts.

Yeah, I have no idea which T13 has such a TTT registrar, but it's not Cornell.

So does mine, provides a word template and specifically tells people to use it rather than the unofficial pdf you can get from the registrar at any point in time.Lavitz wrote:Never heard of this.

Lol what kind of garbage T13 does this? This is probably the first time GeorgeTTTown's Registrar does shit better than other law schools. I didn't even know that was possible.foregetaboutdre wrote: my school does this to and even provides a word doc to fill in your grades. i am so paranoid about marking one wrong that i just screen shot the grade viewer app or whatever though. it also is 1000x easier.

Re: Using OSCAR transcript for firms
We created our own unofficial transcripts at my t20. There is an option to get a school unofficial one but it didn't copy paste or otherwise port very well over into a doc / pdf. Kind of a giant fail considering everybody interviewing needs an unofficial transcript but hey...
