How long does it take AMCAS to receive transcripts?

Members don't see this ad.

I submitted my primary application on 5/30, but it seems like AMCAS takes quite awhile to process transcripts? The transcripts were mailed 5/29 via USPS First Class, but they supposedly haven't received it..? I only sent a transcript this late because I was waiting for my spring grades to be available.

As of June 7, AMCAS is:
Marking transcripts as "Received" that were delivered on June 4.

So this worries me. Should I re-send transcripts, or is this the norm?

No, you should not resend. Just because they may have arrived at the facility does not mean they have been received by AMCAS. Be patient. You should be fine. If they do not say "received" by the middle of next week then call them first before resending transcripts.

If I may ask, if you were prepared enough to submit your application on 5/30, why did you wait until the last minute to send transcripts? I sent mine electronically May 1st and they were marked received May 1st..

My grades for spring would not have been available before May 1st (they were available 5/29).

For those wondering and posterity, mine were just marked as received (i.e. about a week).
