Can someone explain the application timeline and what necessary info I need to gather/know before I submit it?
I know the "soft open" is on May 15th, but can I add everything to it including letter of recs before June 5th? I would really appreciate if anyone can give me just a brief timeline/important dates because I feel like I may be missing something and its making me nervous ):
 
May 15th application soft opens. You can submit everything. Transcripts, letters of rec, and fill out application which covers your background, experiences, and personal statement.

June 5th application opens. You can submit your application, which starts the transcript verification process. This usually takes 2-3 weeks to process.

Schools start sending out interview invites July-August all the way through March.

December 2nd schools release decisions. Usually it’s the 1st but since the 1st is a Sunday this year, it’ll probably be Monday. After this point, schools can make offers whenever.

In regards to transcripts, I should wait until this semester's grades are published though, right?

Yes. Wait until your spring grades are published first. For my school, I was able to send them electronically to AADSAS automatically once my spring grades were finalized so there wasn't much of a difference sending in May 10th vs June 1st.
