I'm a little confused on how this all works.

Once you e-submit, AADSAS still has to recieve your transcript and LOR AND have to process it before sending out your application to schools? So that means that you haven't officially applied to any schools yet?

and since this process says it takes about 4-6 weeks (is that 4-6 weeks from esubmition?) technically your schools won't even see your application till a month later?

Yes. If you e-submit but not all your transcripts are in they won't calculate your gpa. And the schools won't have anything to download into their systems or at least anything usable.

they don't care for your LORs or DAT scores though. If those come in later that's fine they'll send/upload those at another date.

the 4-6 week time frame assumes you have all your transcripts in and gives them a little bit of buffer in case they are overwhelmed. Most people though its about 3 weeks.

I was also expecting 4-6 weeks for AADSAS to process everything. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it only took them 1 week to do everything. Here was my timeline for reference:

Transcript received: 8/4
submitted AADSAS: 8/5
GPA calculated: 8/11
AADSAS mailed out to schools: 8/12 🙂

I wonder what that means... slow day at the office? or that i'm a relatively late applicant so there isn't a deluge of applications coming in?
