For those of you applying the 1st of August, when are you planning on sending your transcripts to aacpm? I called and apparently if you send your transcripts too early they will almost certainly get lost. Also, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a certain character limit on the personal statement for the application?

Yeah, I am sending my in the first week of August and if it does get lost I'll just send them again. I believe its 4500 characters. Good luck this application cycle. 🙂

I would wait until the day the application cycle opens up. I remember Temple threw away all my stuff because I thought I was on top of things and sent it in in July. It was slightly frustrating as it delayed a lot of things.

Barry claimed they never received my letters either.

I agree with the above post. Starting the application on the first is so much the key. Getting transcripts sent before the 1st may be more negative than positive, hence if they get lost. Also, the start of the cycle was really slow. i remember submitting everything and waiting weeks to get the official GPA. i remember people submitting at the end of august and early september and getting "Verified" in what seemed like days. As long as you are on top of your stuff and get things in early in the cycle (Aug-OCT) vs late (After Feb the nex year), you should be fine. Good luck.

I called and asked about sending transcripts because I am planning on applying August 1 too and the person I spoke with said that if they get them before August 1 they are not even allowed to use them..so I don't know if I should send them like end of July because it always takes a few days for them to process, and from what I am hearing the wait after that can be weeks...aww soo nervous!

Don't you need to use the Transcript matching form that you get when you open up an AACPMAS application anyway, meaning that you have to send your transcripts on or after August 1st when the application process begins?

I did not use those aacpmas letter heads but you can.
