Do you show your transcript to your recommendar?

Hi,

My recommendar asked me to email the transcript too.
I have never been asked to give a transcript to a professor, so not sure this is common.
Did you show your transcript to your recommenders?

Thank you.

    It's not uncommon for professors to ask for things like this. Some go overboard and ask for a bunch of stuff, some may ask for like 1 thing (a resume, transcript, etc.), while some may ask for nothing if you just took them.

    My advisor already knows my academic progress.My other potential recommenders(two professors) only asked about my personal statement and resume.

    Thank you both.
    It sees like my professor is willing to write a throughout letter for me, I'm so grateful then.

    Np! I had a professor who only asked me for a resume before, and another one who wanted nothing, lol. They're all different I guess.

    Yeah I think this is so they have a better grasp of how you performed as a student. Every recommender is different - some ask for a copy of your resume or personal statement.

    I see. Thanks :) I just wanted to know it's safe I guess cuz I have never shown my transcript to others except for adcom.
