Every school asks you to send them your fall semester grades but how should I send them? I can't get in touch with the admissions office at one school so I wondered if I should do email or send an official transcript or just write out my grades and send that in?

Write them in a letter format. It's also a good way to include updates on other activities you are involved in!

Do ALL schools that you applied to require your fall grades? I thought you only send your official transcript to the school that you plan to attend. Otherwise than that, you can send your grades as part of an update letter but they're not required. Or am I missing something here? 😕superso said:

There are schools that place applicants on hold for interviews. Those schools require you to send your falls grades before an interview is granted (This doesn't necessarily apply to all applicants). A waitlisted applicant may want to send their fall grades. These grades could be of interest to adcoms. Sending fall grades just goes in line with keeping your file updated. The grades you send don't have to be official transcripts.
You are correct that complete official transcripts are only required for the school you plan to attend.
