On August 15th I sent off transcript request forms to the two colleges I've attended. I waited patiently and waited some more and at the end of August nothing had been recieved so I called both schools neither had recieved the request forms.
So, I go in person to both schools and personally sign transcript request forms, one to aacomas and one to amcas. My aacomas transcripts get in fine and that whole application is done. My amcas transcripts are recieved on october 3rd and I have the standard waiting to be reviewed message.
Which brings me to last wednessday november 16th, amcas finally reviews my application. One of my colleges sent a letter of enrollment instead of an official transcripts. So my application is incomplete and the deadline for all my med schools is october 15th.
So I run around trying to figure out what happened. My college doesn't want to take responsibility for it and says "we don't send out letters of enrollment" and they said I only signed a transcript request for aacomas and not amcas, which is bs because i signed them both at the same time.
So I call my medical schools and explain the situation and they extend my transcript deadline and I overnight my official transcript to amcas. It was recieved by the post office on friday the 17 at 11:00 am and here it is monday night and amcas has not picked up my transcripts from the post office.
To throw another possible wrench into this mess, the package has to be signed for. Does anybody know if amcas signs for packages and how often they pick up their mail?
I would assume yes and daily but that does not seem to be the case.
Moral of the story: get things sent in early, I know i'm preaching to the anal retentive choir here though.
