Okay so I know that OTCAS opens today but what time does it open? I've been checking all morning and it's still not open yet... also I know its going to a new platform for this year, is it still using the same website?
This stinks. I really want to work on it this weekend and get a head start.

I like how it says minimum of 3 to maximum of 3. Hmm, I can't decide if I want 3 or 3...UHMMMMM has anyone else noticed that OTCAS went from letting you have FIVE letters of recommendation to letting you have ONLY THREE?!
Has anyone else had trouble in the personal information section on the language/military/convictions sections? I've filled out all of the info (except no where did it have questions about languange prof?) yet it won't let me save and continue
Hi all! This is my first time using OTCAS. I am confused on the transcript process. If I enter all of my grades on my own do I still send my transcripts? Also it gives you a transcript request form with a barcode for each school, do I have to send that to the school I want transcripts from? Most of my schools are just online requests where you put in the address. Is the paper with the bar code required to be attached to the transcript for them to accept it?
I am also having the same problem as deejayy and ot.3277
I think I'll call Monday morning and post on how to correct the problem. On the bright side, the rest of the application seems quite organized and use friendly

I make those decisions by asking myself, "If I include this, does it add strength to my overall app?"Does anyone know if its necessary to add in babysitting/nannying to the employment section?
OT Letter of Rec question: I spent 60 hours last year shadowing peds and this year I will have 20 in skilled nursing and 20 in rehab. Should I ask the OT from last year that I spent more time with or one of the ones from this year???
Does anybody know about transcripts and were we send them to? It says the address is P.O. Box:9120 which doesn't sound right
Hi everyone,
Just in case some of you were wondering, my OTCAS application was verified within 4-5 days, however that does not mean that everyone's application will be verified within that same time frame as well. Just wanted to let some of you know, just in case you were wondering at what speed they're going at right now. Again, that time frame may vary for some applications.
Also, for those of you who have been verified, according to OTCAS email they sent me, it says "your coursework has been verified....please wait for up to an hour for your calculated gpa to appear on your application". It's been over an hour already (around 3 hours), I was wondering where/what section would it show our calculated gpa?
Thank you! Good luck to all!
UPDATE: Just found out where to find your calculated gpa on OTCAS. For some of you who were wondering also, in order view your calculated gpa: you have to download your actual (pdf) application from the "program status" section and scroll through your application to find the page with the gpa table
Every course you've ever taken. Pre req is a school-specific section where you match it.For the transcript entry section, do I just enter my pre-req courses or do I list every course I've taken that is on my transcript?
