So I don't need to have everything submitted until the deadline?That's five weeks to have everything submitted. The transcripts take a week to mail, and for them to generally receive. The letters of recommendations have to be emailed to the individuals and getting a professor to stay on top of it and complete it within a reasonable manner takes time. Start now, work on it consistently.
I'm getting all of my transcripts sent in tomorrow. I just heard it takes 5 weeks for pharmcas to calculate the gpa, so does that mean I need all of my transcripts in 5 weeks early? How long did they take to calculate your gpa?Just saw that you are doing ED, so for this circumstance, you need to get a move on and make progress on the application. You have to enter every single course you have ever taken; you have to print the institution sheets and have official transcripts sent to Pharmcas, letters of Rec, etc.
Thank you so much! You've been so helpful!!It can take up to five weeks for them to finalize it so yes, it is best to have it in before then as you suggested; however it is generally 2-3 weeks at most.. Do remember that ED is generally rolling basis from Sep through November. If you submit it within the next two weeks, they will receive it early September and you will be one of the first many applications they view for the season. If you wait till early September or late August, you will still be in the pile with the many, many ED apps viewed in October.. In pharmacy, I have heard numerous times that the earlier, the more likelier you are to be admitted. If you submit earlier than what ED requires, then it shows commitment and time management on your part.
