I ordered my grad school transcript in May, knowing that I would need it in June. Other materials from other sources arrived promptly, but by June, I realized that I never received my transcript. I had to pay extra to have my transcript FedExed to me. National Student Clearinghouse took my money and did absolutely nothing with it. It is beyond me why grad schools think it is a good idea to deal at all with this slipshod, unreliable, and irresponsible organization.
