Completing observe. hours after PTCAS is submitted?

I trying to get my inpatient hours in last minute, (I made the mistake of focusing 400 hours into only outpatient). However due to the hospitals scheduling I cannot finish the hours needed in time for the the 11/1 deadline schools, since I plan on submitting the app within the next couple of days.

My question is, how am I supposed to show these schools that I did the hours? I know I can state "in-progress" on the app, but how do I follow up about it? Thank you.

by updating the hours and clicking send...then you have to wait for the PT to reverify those new hours

I thought you couldn't update your application once it's submitted?

You can make changes to your PTCAS after it has been submitted only to observation hours, references up to 4 and test scores.

Some programs might only consider observation hours that were completed before the application deadline, though, so you should check about that with your programs.
