Try electronic. Had a similar problem.

It will happen, don't worry. This is the easy part, you need to save your energy for when it gets bad!

Your transcripts got received. They just havent gotten to them yet. Kinda what happens when you send them 1 day before application day.

There are TONS of people in the same boat as you I wouldn't worry. You can call to ask them, as well. Maybe for secondaries just get everything done right away, it takes the stress out of everything. After lurking here for so long I wanted all of my stuff in early. I had all my transcripts and letter writers submitted and received in May. Just get it done early, you'll be much more relieved.

You're not going to be at a disadvantage since you applied early. You'll be okay. Just wait a little bit longer.

Breathe. AMCAS does an amazing job with transcripts. You are one of 40,000.

I don't understand why everyone has theirs processed in 7 business days and mine is going on 14+ business days. It is frustrating as all I can do now is write secondaries and wait

You had an entire month to submit your transcripts before AMCAS opened for submission. You also had the opportunity to submit your app the moment it opened and get verified same day. AMCAS isn't out to get you.

I am not claiming they are out to get me. I'm only claiming that they are slow on transcripts.

It could very well be your school being slow. I had three transcripts to send; two of them were processed in less than 10 days and the third took 3 weeks because the school didn't understand the whole AMCAS attachment arrangement.

Either way, it's like driving a car. Being mad at the traffic and red lights won't change anything - focus on what you can do to improve your app.

How do you suggest they streamline the process of matching transcripts to the applications of 55,000 people? The longer you wait to submit, the longer it takes because there are more people in front of you in the queue. It isn't some crazy concept.

 

[drmantistobbogan]

Be more willing and able to accept electronic transcripts from schools. My school sends secure electronic transcripts, but AMCAS will not take them. It is archaic to use paper in this day and age.

Maybe it is an issue with your school not meeting the requirements to send eTranscripts to AMCAS.

I sent mine out in MAY and they took 10 days.

You're never in traffic, you are traffic.

It will get done, it's still plenty early. Take it from @bananafish94, save this worry for when it matters. It is a painfully drawn out cycle. Transcripts are the least of your concern, you'll be fine!

Stop posting! AMCAS will smell your fear and delay verification.

I meant 15 business days, so in reality its closer to 21 days

Wow that's actually ridiculous. I guess they only have so much man power though.

-I am having the same issue you had re AMCAS receipt of transcripts. I had to send paper copies because AMCAS did not have my school listed as one of the schools they accept electronic transcripts from.
-Sent to AACOMAS the same day and they emailed me four days later saying they received my transcript.
-How long before AMCAS finally matched your app and your transcript? (OR) Did you have to resend it?

The fun part is when secondaries just have you manually re-enter all your classes and grades anyway.

 

[medappnervousomg]

Do you remember how long it took for AMCAS to process your resent transcript? I had a transcript from back in high school that I had no idea I had to send in until the end of May. Now I'm worried about how long it's going to take to process. I overnighted it last week and have neurotically sent it out like 3 more times because of stories like this but I'm still losing my mind!

I'm also worried because AMCAS has tweeted about processing May 30 transcripts 2 days in a row now which makes me feel like they are falling behind (they are behind where they were last year because yes, I scrolled through their twitter until I got to last year)
