I know it’s only a small amount of money for a transcript request, but I feel like the organization that feels that the individual applying and presenting his/her own information is not reliable enough not to have altered his/her transcript, such that it wants a copy directly from the college or university the individual attended, ought to be the one to pay for the transcript to be sent. It is the one who feels that the student is unreliable, and yet the student is the one who has to pay for that? Just seems a little too ridiculous. If you don’t trust me, that’s okay. But do your own research – don’t have me do it for you, when I’m already presenting you with the truth. It’s along similar lines as saying someone doesn’t trust his girlfriend to be loyal, and so he has his girlfriend hire a private detective to follow herself around. Sure, it’s a little drastic, but it’s the same concept…
