I thought you could still e-submit even though GPA hasn't been verified..
Same as LORs

Yeah, you can but your GPA won't be verified until all of your transcripts are received.

Letters can be submitted anytime, if you application has been mailed out already, the upload of a new letter will trigger another mail out date.

Oh, I thought I was the only one whose transcripts weren't in yet. I already e-submitted, but my transcripts aren't showing up. I sent both of them in on 06/04/15 by express mail, but I don't have anything showing up on my application. It looks like we're all on the same boat with this!

How do you know AADSAS has received and processed your transcript if the AADSAS app hasn't updated?

Then the transcripts have been received by AADSAS, but not input to the system yet. They are receiving a ton of transcripts right now, there will be a delay between when materials are delivered and when AADSAS actually has a chance to process them.

What a pain, should've just drove down to the ADEA and hand deliver my transcripts with cookies.

yep I see. I am just afraid I will miss the first batch since I submitted everything already.

I wouldn't worry, missing the first batch is not a big deal at all. Having your application complete within the first two months or so is going to be considered early regardless.

yep, that is true. but i ditched out around 60$ for express mailing and everything so I just expect to be in first batch due to timely submission of all documents

How long ago did you send out your transcript if you don't mind me asking? It's been 8 business days since I mailed mine out and I still haven't received an update. Would it be worth calling aadsas to inquire about the status of my transcript?
I sent my transcripts on May 15th, not knowing there was a form to go with it. So they recieved mine on June 10th. I'm sure they've received everyone's and it is just taking them a while to input into the AADSAS.

Killer stats! Is Michigan your top choice?

uhhhh...great question. Haha I'm way too indecisive for my own good so I have no idea! Michigan is definitely the choice that makes the most sense -- it's closest to home, definitely the cheapest, and is one of the top programs in the nation. I visited last weekend and really liked it as well. But part of me is tempted to go farther away from home. I guess I won't know what I really want until I (hopefully) get interviews and have a chance to visit schools and get a feel for what they're like.

Do you have any advice or suggestions regarding my choices?!
 
Is there any thread for uploading files of our supplementary application. I'd really like if someone could read mine over. I'm currently working on the application for University of Minnesota.

My brother is in dentistry (UPenn oral surgery) as well and from asking him I think that is a solid (if not the best) choice for the reasons you listed. The allure of the 3 year program at UoP can be enticing though especially if you are considering doing operative dentistry. I don't know how strong their didactics are as a result of this though.

Evaluations are in? Probably like a week or two for grades and stuff.

sorry, i mean complete as in having transcripts, submission, and schools designation. my evaluations are sent on 06/09/2015 but not yet updated on the portal. the transcripts arrived 3 days ago but only now updated.

ONLY a week or two? hopefully it is a week so i can be in first batch 😉

I mean who knows? LOL I wouldn't worry about it if I were you then, post when you get grade verification so we can guess how long.

Did you get an email confirmation that your evaluators submitted their letters? If not, you need to call AADSAS and figure out what went wrong.

i will do.

I use the health committee service at my school, it holds all letters and send all letters as a package straight to AADSAS. They confirmed the package was sent on June 9th but idk if they used regular 7 day snail mail or electronic fax.

my transcript were supposed to be there on the june 5th but they put received date on the june 11th and didn't post it on portal 'til the june 15th)

AADSAS processing time is akin to DMV processing time.

No, it still says "Not Mailed" but I guess they sent it to schools electronically cause I have recieved an email from University of Florida, and Midwestern-IL

On the website it says Recieved June 10th, but it didn't actually show up on the website till the 12th.
