Do I Need A Transcipt?


Am applying to UK LLM programs at Oxford, LSE and UCL. All ask for transcripts.

Contacted my uni where I did my LLB, an old UK uni, and they tell me they no longer have any records whatsoever for LLB graduates from the 1990s! The best they can do is send a letter saying I graduating with an LLB, but they can't even give the score!

Is this right? Is it legal even? Seems odd. I could completely lie about my scores (not that I would since I got a very high 2.1 - 68% average - and that's what I wanted to communicate to the LLM providers).

Hey
I don't know if there is anything you can do about it (regarding your Uni), but my experience is that the admissions offices are really considerate in such cases. Don't you have any kind of record of your own from the 90s?

And if not, just call the admissions office and they will surely tell you what to do. I can't imagine that this could be an obstacle

Yeah - it's quite odd! Just a suggestion - if you know your grades, could you ask your uni to write an official letter to the places you're applying to indicating the grades you've received, even if they can't give a transcript? It seems like it's the least they could do!
