documents to ptcas

[buruburudoku]

hello guys! i have a question regarding the required documents such as LORs and transcript. Do i have to mail them to ptcas or the school has to send transcrpit directly to ptcas? or the professor or the pt has to send it directly to ptcas? sorry i'm just working on my apps since last week. appreciate any comments!

Transcripts:
PTCAS doesn't accept them from students, it has to come from the school you attended. Don't forget to supply the form PTCAS requires to be included for your transcripts also.

LORs:
They can be sent by your recommenders directly (electronically or paper). But, you can send it in yourself as well. Because when I was getting all my documents together, PTCAS hadn't opened their applications yet. I had one paper recommendations before July, when PTCAS is not available, and mailed it in myself when it became available.

Observation hours:
I sent them in myself. The facilities that I observed/volunteered had their own documentation and PTCAS allows you to send that in as verification instead of having to get it verified again (it's in the instructions)

For observation hours, if put in verification to be electronic rather than paper, than an electronic verification would be the same as if you were to send it in directly yourself right? Because I had one of my PT's verify the hours online after I filled in the hours and such.
