AADSAS Academic Update

[student253]

---

Members don't see this ad.

From what I understand, applicants can update there Spring-Fall grades sometime mid-November.

My questions is, would it be move the process along if an applicant sends out there official transcript before the update is available and then fill in the new grades/courses in AADSAS?

Thoughts?

I called AADSAS. The academic update will be available on Nov. 17 and YES, it will speed the process along if you send in your transcript early.

Why Mid-november?
Most schools's Fall courses finish in December and marks come out mid-late December... Is the applicant update even available at this time?

It opens up on/after Nov. 17 and remains open until the end of the cycle. I believe you get only one submission. Hope this helps.

Yeah, print it out and send it with the transcript. I forgot where the form was and it took me a minute to find it. Here it is if you guys are finding trouble:
Go to your AADSAS page, click on My Application on the top, go to-->Academic History-->Colleges Attended. The form is the yellow link on the left.

The form explicitly states:
The transcript must meet the following requirements be to considered "official" by AADSAS.
*Registrar's seal and/or legible signature included on transcript
*Be received directly from the Registrar's office
*Transcript NOT marked "issued to the student" or "student copy"

I didn't notice this and sent an official transcript that I had from my address. Don't make the same mistake and hope this helps out.

Does it matter to the dschools if we submit early or late? ... I believe an adcom member from ucsf mentioned that they would not take these fall grades into consideration.

I took summer classes this year and have my grades back so those can be added during the update. Also, I sent my summer transcript to AADSAS as soon as i received my grades and AADSAS posted under the status section that the transcript was received. I think it would speed up the process to send them in ahead of time if possible.

Hey LuckiLeigh, I am in the same situation as you. I sent in my summer grades asap, but do you know how I should go about updating my fall grades? They'll be available in late dec. It looks like only one submission is allowed,, I sorta dug my own grave by trying to speed up things haha.
