Hello, everyone. I’m in the process of applying to grad schools, and I was shocked to find out that I can use an actual credit card to pay through an online system for… paper transcripts to be sent in for my application. Hooray for high-tech Japan.
I’m just wondering what the likely time frame is for this. I got my receipt 7 days ago, but all my other (digital) transcripts (from American universities) reached the schools I’m applying to within 24 hours. Sophia is the last holdout. There is no information anywhere on their website, or in the e-receipt, about how long this will take, and when I tried to call the phone number on their website, I got messages in both Japanese and English telling me the number is disconnected. My first choice school does allow me to defer my application, but there are deadlines I would ideally like to meet, so I would like to know if anyone else here has experience sending transcripts abroad from Jouchi to another institution, and about how long (in days) it took for those institutions to actually receive them. I realize this varies a lot by location and time of year, but Golden Week is over, so…
**Tl;dr If anyone here has had Sophia U send transcripts on their behalf, about how long did it take for that shipment to go through?**
