OTCAS Academic Update

I just received an e-mail from OTCAS messenger saying that my Academic Update is finally verified and it's been 2 months since I've posted my new grades. Was this process as slow for anyone else?
Does this hurt my chances of getting into schools considering my prereq A&P grades were included in that update?

It took mine about a month to be verified. It is a slow process, and I think most OTCAS schools know that. I also updated the schools I applied to on my own by sending an email and calling to let them know what my grades were from Fall. I would suggest that you do the same. Many schools didn't wait for the verification before sending rejections or acceptances, so it wouldn't hurt to tell them yourself what your grades were, and that you completed the courses.

I'm pretty sure that they can view your grades from the AU in real time. They just won't say "verified" next to them. I highly doubt that would hurt your chances because most people are in the same boat (have courses in progress) and I would l think colleges would take your word for it on your grades. (They could just auto-reject you if it turns out you were dishonest).
