Database for transcripts

[cookderosa]

Is there a database schools use to check for transcripts when you apply to graduate schools? If so does anyone know its name?

Some professional programs, like med schools and law schools, have central application databases. So, you send your info once and then you use THAT account to apply to each school. For med school it's AMCAS. Beyond that type of situation, everyone else will want original official transcripts from your undergrad degree, and often from additional separate credit sources within that degree. For instance, if you attended a community college and earned an AA, then earned a BA from your state school, it's reasonable for grad schools to request BOTH transcripts.
