We were told that this would serve as proof of education, since we hadn't been working full-time for 5 years. So we went through all the hoops, and snail mailed our 20 bucks to IU. 2 weeks later....we got our transcripts, but were then told that it was unnecessary. We now have our prized transcripts, just waiting to use them!! Kristoffer and I were both told when purchasing our home, we needed to have copies of our transcripts.

Some innovative and convenient method, were they to exist, would probably still be useful for the prospective student to know about in that said method would be a powerful signal that the administration is itself innovative and dynamic. Why do you need to know your GPA? (Does your boss read this blog?)
