I am a re-applicant. I am waiting for my biochem and microbiology grades to come in on July 10th and then Ill send out my transcripts. I haven't e-submitted yet but I will once I get done with class. I don't have time with working 8-5 plus these two classes to work on my app.

Is this too late you think? My app probably won't be "complete" by AADSAS until early Aug at best. Anyone have any advice on how to speed the process up? I haven't e-submitte yet because my PS isn't finished. Does it really matter if I haven't e-submitted since I will have to wait so long for my GPA verification?

It takes a month for schools to complete the application?

I don't think it is late though.

 

[jackjackson1121]

But should would e-submitting even make a difference then?

Late, not really, but why are you waiting?

Because I'm waiting for my biochem and microbiology grades to get in so I can send out my transcript.

I realize, but why are you waiting for those grades? Do you need them to bump your GPA? You can add them later.

You can't add them until after fall semester is over. A lot of the colleges will already have given acceptances. I want to make sure I have these grades in before my interviews so nothing is up in the air. I'm a re-applicant and last year the academic update was in January

I think what @ajj70 means is do you absolutely need these grades to show up on your transcript for a particular reason like a GPA boost? Or are you worried you won't do well in these courses and then will have wasted time/money applying? If you're not waiting for either of these reasons, then it's okay to put the courses under planned/in progress and e-submit now so you're not delaying your app.

Just submit your app then individually send your updated transcript to the schools.

I talked to a dental student at BU on admissions and he said its not too late, they hold a lot of spots to read a lot of applicants before giving out acceptances after deadline

Yeah its biochem and microbiology and I'm getting an A in both so I want to make sure it gets on my first GPA calculation and not my academic update. I was just worried that waiting for these two grades might hurt me slightly since my application won't be 100% completed in verified for another month
