Mid-year transcripts that will be updated to show fall semester grades will be available on Jan. 19, for students to request in Naviance or purchase a hard copy from the counseling office for 3 dollars. The top 2 colleges in Georgia, Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia, had regular decision application deadlines in early Jan. Mid-year transcripts are often wanted by colleges to learn more information about how applicants are progressing through senior year, and are required for deferred applicants to make a final decision. It’s important to send in documents electronically or through mail as early as possible to ensure there are no delays in the application process, which could cost a spot in the college. The next top 3 colleges. Georgia State, Georgia Southern and Kennesaw State, have much later application deadlines, but taking care of documents early on can prevent any errors.
