Has anyone had their gpa updated by pharmcas? I submitted my information and transcripts 3-4 weeks ago and it's not updated yet.

I had mine updated about 4-5 days after they received my transcripts. The deadline is this Wed or Thur. If I were you, I'd call pharmcas up and see what the heck is the problem. Did they receive your transcripts? Your registrar may have screwed things up and sent your transcript to the wrong address... so you may have to pay extra to FexEx it overnight.

My transcripts are listed as recieved on 1/6

Wow, that isn't good.. call up pharcmas tomorrow morning. 👍

Your's shows up when you click on the GPA link?

I just emailed them and I will call in the morning. Thanks

Did you enter your new classes, delete the old "classes in progress" and everything? The red text on the top of my GPA page went away and my GPA's were updated.

I did everything that was needed, and checked it twice before I submitted it. I still have the red message and my GPA has not changed.

I would just like to double check something. For transcripts if I express mail them, I mail them to the address on the form that says, "FOR EXPRESS DELIVERIES ONLY: c/o Liaison International... 311 Arsenal Street," right??? Argh I'm so worried. Has anyone express mailed their transcripts through their registrar? I was under the impression that for express mail, the envelopes must go directly into the "Express Mail" mailbox at the post office... which is why I was hoping my registrar could give the envelope back to me sealed so I could drop it off myself to be 100% sure it got there. However the lady at the registrar refused and said she'd drop it in the schools mailbox to be picked up. Some guy there said that the mailman sorts it out. Is that true? Oh btw someone on a previous post on this thread says that they're due this Wednesday or Thursday. I e-mailed PharmCAS about when it's over and got a response that AU ends on February 3rd.

I had mine mailed directly from the registar and I did not have any problem with PharmCAS recieving them. If I remember correctly, PharmCAS requires transcripts to be sent directly from the school and not you.

On a side note, it seems PharmCAS just forgot to process my academic update. I called them and they did it that day.

That's cool... but more specifically, did you have it Express Mailed by your registrar? That is my worry. I've had the registrar send previous transcripts too, but that was through ordinary First Class mail. What I'm worried about is... I gave my registrar a paid $14.00 Express Mail envelope. They're just going to drop it into their normal mailbox for the mailman to pick up... but aren't any Express Mail envelopes supposed to be dropped in their own special Express Mail mailbox at the post office? Or is that not the case.

Mine still says Academic Update Coursework is not reflected in GPA calculations until verified. under the GPA thing, and they have my transcript and I deleted my old in progress courses. 😕 Hopefully pharmcas will get on the ball.

I'm assuming express mail is the same as overnighting something. If so I don't think dropping it in the mail box is going to work the same. It could, but I wouldn't think so. Everytime I overnight something they tell me it will arrive at noon or 3:00 (or whatever) the next day. What if your school's mail has already ran for the day? Even if the post office catches it and sends it out overnight they might not get it that day. If you did it today and it got delayed by a day it should still get there by the 3rd. I hope it all works out.

So long as you make it clear to the registrar office that it needs to be express mail... they'll take care of it. They're very experienced with this type of thing. 😉

LOL okay thank you for commenting on how they are "experienced..." It calmed me down a great deal. And yes, I believe I did make it clear to the registrar office. It was sort of spaztic covered up by a calm demeanor. Thanks again.

Express mail is the same as regular mail, but the post office delivers it by the date they promise (sometimes). There are no special boxes or anything special about it. There are no guarantees that it will get there as promised.

If you really want something to get there quickly, use Fed Ex.
