Hello Everybody,

Does anyone know what applications are being verified right now? I applied August 23rd, however my transcripts were just processed this past Friday. I was wondering if anyone had any idea of how fast they are moving currently? Thanks!
 
If you have a language exemption entered as a course on your transcript with a grade "CR", do you have to put that in the transcript entry as well ?

Question for everyone: how did you list your volunteer experiences? I have a few "big" things like my mission trips. But I also have a lot of smaller projects or experiences from school. Like twenty of them haha. I wasn't sure if I should make them into categories or list everything individually.

Thank you!
 
I know it has been asked, but I can't seem to locate the post. Does anyone know where they post your calculated gpa once verified? I'm having trouble finding it. Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind, found it🙂

I have a question for my GREs

My whole application should be done by end of September

However Im taking the GREs on OCT 8th

How will this affect my application? 🙁 will it be to my disadvantage??

Im concerned about applying to late in the game
 
Last year I turned in my OTCAS application without the GRE, and then sent my score to the schools individually.

Hi I was how long it has been taking people to get their applications verified recently? I submitted mine on 9/14/15 and was curious how long it might take
 
Hi everyone! I have a question about the transcript entry section as well. I received a few credits for career exploration/work experience by shadowing an OT, but I don't know what section to put this under. Any ideas? I can't seem to find a category that fits. The course codes were WE 202 (CWE Seminar) and WE 280 (CWE: Career Exploration). Thanks in advance for any input!
 
@ernie1943 same! Once my application is verified I will feel so much better.

i remember you saying you sent yours in the 26th? i sent mine in after yours and was verified on the 9/10. id be calling them asking for a reason, that seems pretty ridiculous since yours should have been in the front of the list

For anyone who's transcripts don't seem to be going through make sure to call OTCAS. I had taken one course at J. Sargeant Reynolds but couldn't find that school on OTCAS so I entered it by hand and this caused my transcript to be put in a lost pile thankfully it's all fixed now.
