The official website states that you have to send in your transcript as part of the application process. I requested an official transcript from my school and they sent it to me in a sealed envelope. Is it appropriate that I send in this sealed envelope with my application to satisfy the transcript requirement? The website states that student issued copies may suffice, pending official transcripts.

Any input on the above would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The school should always issue you the transcript in a sealed envelope. Put this in with your application package and send it out.

PS: If you don't know all your grades/academic patterns by heart, it helps to have an extra copy nearby for reference during the interview.

Agree, some schools are really strict about students even sendng in transcripts and insist that it be directly mailed from the school, but I don't think SABA is that weird about it. At any rate send it to them exactly as your school gave it to you, ugly envelope and all, lest they think you tampered with it
