Who is still working on their OPTOMCAS? What would be considered a late submission?

I know people who submitted in February last year and still got in, but usually off the waitlist at the last minute. It kind of depends on where you want to go, because schools have different strategies to fill their classes. I would submit as soon as possible. I've heard that there's a big wave of apps in July/August, then it drops off through most of the semester, and picks up again around the end of December/January. If you wait too long into January, you will be in a much more competitive pool of applicants all vying for relative few seats left.

That's not necessarily true! I turned mine in late nov and it was verified within 2 days! If you did it right, it may go fast! The day after verification, all my schools emailed me to say they received my stuff! Actually just got my first interview invite yesterday in the mail for Jan 4th! Hopefully you will have a smooth ride too! Late submission is really more like Jan/feb!

I think the best strategy to get them to process and send everything out quickly is to have sent them your transcripts well ahead of time. I had mine sent in from my college weeks before i submitted my app, and after i did finally submit, it only took several days for them to send it out to the schools

Is a January/February interview considered a late interview? My stats are average to high (350AA OAT and 3.7 overall GPA) but I did not write the OAT until November 25th and have not submitted my supplemental applications (will work on them after finals) for my 5th and 6th choice schools...
