My advice is to start entering all your info, especially coursework, into optomCAS as early as possible and send your transcripts early too. I started my app entering coursework and sending transcripts early July but did not actually e-submit until July 29th. My application was verified and mailed out August 2nd, 4 days later. Seems they did all the work with my coursework early and just held off on releasing in until payment went through.
