I'm having an issue submitting my application in PTCAS and I'm hoping one of you has had a similar problem. When I try to E-Submit I keep getting an error telling that my "Institutions Attended" section isn't complete. Being in the military I went to a lot of schools as I moved around so entering them all was a pain but they are definitely all entered on that page and everything is filled out on the coursework page. I went through each individual school entry and I can't see what the issue it. I have a feeling there is something small I am missing. They verify everything first come, first serve so I was hoping to get it submitted today but I have a feeling I am going to have to wait until when I can call PTCAS.
 
I figured it out. Patience is not a virtue I possess and I couldn't wait until Monday to fix this problem. Here's the solution in case anyone else has the same issue. After you enter your schools there is a button to the right that says "Add Degree". I already added degrees to the applicable schools but I didn't think it was necessary to enter degree information from schools that I never actually received degrees from. Apparently I was wrong. On a whim I went back and clicked on that button for each school and entered "No Degree." It all seemed unnecessary but it worked and everything is submitted now. If I never have to use PTCAS again it'll be too soon.
