Anyone familiar with the application process to law schools? I’m a bit confused…I registered with [LSAT.org](http://LSAT.org), and filled out my application online. I then printed out the application and mailed it to the law school. I’m finishing the applications for other schools now, but have realized that I didn’t ever send the first school my transcripts from my undergraduate studies. And, they didn’t ask for them on the application. Am I supposed to send the transcripts somewhere??? It seems like I should, but I’m not sure where.

you had to have registered with LSDAS. LSDAS will have your transcripts, resume, test scores, and letters of recommendation. When you send the app to the law school, they law school will request your file with all that information from LSDAS.
