I sent mine at the beginning of May. The paper one took them 4 days, and the electric ones were updated on the same day or the next day. But I think they might be a little slow now with an increased volume of transcripts received. I am sure yours will be updated in time 🙂

Definitely being neurotic. I just don't want to get held up in the verification queue in June and my other electronic transcripts got processed SO fast. Guess this is a good time to start practicing patience for the rest of this process lol.
 
Probably being neurotic for no reason, but it's been a little over a week since I requested my transcript from one of my schools and it still hasn't been received by AMCAS. They didn't give me a tracking number or anything, but I'm guessing it should have made it by now. Just wondering how long it took for other people's (mailed) transcripts to get added to their application. Thank you!
Some schools take like 5 days to process transcript requests, so it may not have even been sent yet, especially with the long weekend.

In my opinion the best course would be to make sure it was sent by the school and find out which day. It could take up to a week in the mail as well.

The school's online service says it was sent out the day after I went in to request it. Hopefully the pile of mail at AAMC isn't too huge yet.
 
My undergrad sent mine out on May 6th, but it wasn't received by AAMC until the 25th! It can definitely vary for a thousand different reasons so don't fret too much.

Can you tell me when that date was (the one the school's online services told you?).
I think that would help.
 
I'm all set, transcript was received, thank you!
haha, i was asking if you would be comfortable sharing the date of transcript transmission and transcript reception so i can kindda gauge how fast they are.
But I understand if you aren't comfortable with that.

OH. Yes sure, sorry I misunderstood. It got mailed by the school on May 21 and I got the receipt notification from AMCAS on May 30.

Thank you,
That gives me some timeline as to when to look forward to.
Thanks!
