This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to hand deliver transcripts to AACOMAS? My undergrad school mailed out my transcript on 6/8 and it was received a few days ago, however the school where I got my Masters also mailed out my transcript on 6/8 and its nowhere to be seen. I have a funny feeling about my Masters transcript ever being delivered so I requested them to send another one. I just have a bad feeling that this one too won't be "delivered" properly so I was wondering if I was able to take matters into my own hands. I also asked for a tracking number and that I would pay for it but they said that they don't include tracking numbers for transcripts.
 
Don't worry. I have both of my transxript mail ot the same day. But one arrived first. The processing time is different for each schools 😉

You're still ok time wise in the process, so you need to relax or you'll never make it through this process without ulcers. 🙂

Hahaha this process is so stressful! I applied two cycles ago and applied really late (only got secondaries beginning of October) and I didn't want to make that mistake again especially since my stats aren't anything special.
 
I had a similar worry...I ordered all of my transcripts on the same day, and the other three arrived within a day of each other, but one took nearly four extra days to get there. It just depends on the school...I wouldn't worry yet! Also some schools offer to mail out another transcript free of charge if the USPS doesn't deliver it within two weeks; check if yours has the same policy and it might save you some money!
