I would normally ask this question to an admission's rep... I called on friday and my rep will be back in the office next friday (the same day I have an interview). So I hope there may be someone who has encountered my situation.

I don't get paid until this friday, and they would like my application to be complete before I interview... they require the official transcripts (otherwise they won't make a decision). This means, the earliest I could submit requests for them would be wednesday (as the deposit hits my account on thursday). My question is, don't they normally ask for official transcripts after you've been accepted?

and is there a supplemental? my mwu account says I do not have a supplemental.

As always thanks for reading!
 
I interview this week and have not sent official transcripts ahead of time. I believe that schools only require official transcripts if you get accepted and decide to matriculate to their school - this is what I have been told by the admin folks at AZpod and it seems to be the general consensus on SDN. It doesn't make much sense to have to send them to schools before you interview - otherwise, it minimizes the point of having them go to AACPMAS for your application.

One of the mods on SDN mentioned that when he applied there was a supplemental application, however, I do not know if that is still the case for the current application cycle. If so, then I believe they are the only school to be requiring this. But again, I don't know if this is the case.
 
Thanks! I feel better about this. I hope it will be a good experience this Friday. I wonder how big our group will be.

Edit.

There is indeed no supplemental, I confirmed with the admission's dept today. There was a supplemental last year. And the official transcripts are only required if accepted, as you stated above.

And for anyone who is nervous like I am. It will be a semi blind interview.

I hope it will be a good experience for you too. You will be our first interview group this year, and there are a couple of changes that have been made since last year. As far as group size, there are usually around 5-6 pod students on average. I believe that there is a group of DO interviewees the same day, but besides lounging in the same lobby, your whole process should be mostly seperated (one of the changes for this year). I'll be one of the students giving the tour in the afternoon, so I look forward to meeting you both!!
 
Definitely looking forward to this Friday and meeting you both as well. I'll be in AZ less than 24 hours, but I think it will be totally worth the trip!
