Wrong Transcript, What Should I Do?

My school's OCR deadline was Monday night for most of the larger consulting firms. I was getting ready for next week's submissions today when I saw that, while my resume and cover letters were correct, my transcript from the end of Junior Fall was submitted. I've already contacted the OCR office, and they say that there is nothing they could do on their end. Thank you in advance for your advice.

There really isn't anything that you can do. But if it's brought up you better have a really good excuse and have your current up to date transcript with you if you get an interview just for the off chance they want it.

Is your GPA on the resume right? And is your current transcript "better" than the one you submitted? If so, you are fine. Take a copy of the right one with you just in case, and maybe bring it up to HR if if you are asked to come in for a final round.

 

I can't really speak to that, but my resume was as out-of-date as yours for every interview process I went through (decent amount) and I didn't get a single question about it.

 

Consultants and recruiters most certainly see the transcript. The real question is, in going through a stack of applicants, will they notice that a transcript is one semester older than it could have been? Hard to say.
