Do you need all references and hours verified before applying?

One or two of the PTs that I've worked under take forever to respond via email and haven't returned recent calls...these are both people that I am asking for references and to verify observational hours from. Is this something that would impede my progress on sending out my apps? I ask because I have pretty much everything ready to upload to PTCAS, and I don't want this to slow me down.

Yes. Your application will not be processed until those are verified. You can upload everything else now, though.

Find their numbers and call them or go see them. You need to get your application in early. Also did they agree to do this?
