Transcripts can be tricky.
When applying to law school, part of the application process is submitting your undergraduate transcript which details the classes you have taken and the grades you have received. The tricky part is that you do not submit them to the law schools yourself; LSAC does.
On the LSAC website, you will find a link detailing all the specifics of submitting transcripts to LSAC. When applying, it is necessary to supply the schools you are applying to with all necessary previous institution's documentation. This means your undergraduate school, any transfer schools, and any graduate institutions.
The transcripts must be submitted directly from the institutions themselves, so go to your enrollment services office on campus and request a transcript to be sent to LSAC. You will need to print off a Transcript Request Form from your online LSAC account and ask the school to add this to the transcript. This helps LSAC to quickly file away your transcript with your LSAC file.
You may also update older transcripts by sending in newer ones -- usually this happens when grades are posted at the end of the semester. It is the same procedure as sending in an initial transcript.
Your home institution will inquire where you would like the transcript to be sent. For domestic transcripts send it to:
Law School Admission Council
662 Penn Street
Box 200-M
Newton, PA 18940
Foreign Transcripts have the same address except that the PO Box number is 8502.
If you have any further questions, consult the LSAC website, or e-mail me.

Whew, just got updated on your entire blog. I'm SO glad you chose to do this for your senior project because it's going to aid my application process SO much.
ReplyDeleteIs there any way you can post a time-line, at least for when you took the LSAT and when you asked for recommendations? I'm a rising Junior now and I have no idea when to start doing what...
