Am I in trouble or am I just being SDNeurotic?

[EthylMethylMan]

So I have two individual letters of recommendation received by AMCAS, hoping to get a third individual and a committee letter written and sent in before my MCAT (July 2nd). My big problem is my transcript; really wishing I sent out the release request form sooner, but I mailed it this previous Tuesday (the 4th). I've seen on here that a lot of people's transcripts got processed in about two weeks after they initially sent out their release request forms, but is that time frame a reasonable estimate once application submissions open? I feel like I'm really just being a bit too on-edge, but that's what being a pre-med is all about, amiright?

That all being said, if everything is in and processed by the time my MCAT rolls around, will my MCAT grades be in in enough time for me to be considered at least a non-late applicant? Thanks, all.

Application is all ready, so I plan on waking up at 9:00 on Monday and submitting as soon as the gates open.

Then I think you will be fine if you prewrite the secondaries that you don't receive. I took the MCAT June 20th last cycle and still received multiple acceptances. You will only be a week off of that.

Great. Silly question, but those can be found at the individual schools' websites, ja?

You're not taking the MCAT until July 2, so your score won't be out until early August. Yeah it's good that you're submitting early so you can be verified by the time your score comes in, but a little delay from day 1 submission doesn't make a difference in your situation. You need to be verified by August, not by July. Judging by how long others have been waiting, your transcripts should be marked received by the end of next week or early the following week at the latest, then you'll enter verification, and you should be verified by August. You'll be fine.

Ah, rightright, I was wondering what that section was for. Thanks!

That's good to hear. Not that I have any control over it at this point, but being verified and having applications sent to schools in August isn't too late, right?
