Applying to multiple schools

If I'm applying to multiple schools on PTCAS with different deadlines, is there a way that the applications can be submitted at different times? Or does everything have to be submitted for schools with the December deadline with the schools with the October deadline?

You can submit individual apps, at will, at your discretion. Once submitted, though, that's it. No pulling back.

You just need to allow time for that individual app to be verified before that school's deadline.

The PTCAS website says "The deadline is the date your materials must arrive at PTCAS (not the program)". So a school like Drexel, for example, has a deadline on PTCAS of Oct.1. As long as they have everything they need (transcripts, etc) and I submit by Oct.1 then I'm good? (Seems obvious but I see other posts about verification, etc, and I'm not sure how that affects the timing.)

I would also check your programs’ websites to see if their deadlines are when you need to SUBMIT your applications by or if they required them to be VERIFIED by then. Most of the deadlines are in regards to submitting only but I have seen a few that require verification by then. If they only require them to be submitted by the deadline, you’ll be okay as long as you submit anytime before October 1st at 11:59 PM EST.
