Just 2 quick questions:

1. At what point does PTCAS calculate my GPA? I have already sent in my transcripts, do they automatically calculate my PTCAS GPA or do I need to send them money or what?

2. How does my GRE score get to the schools im applying to? Do I need to send my GRE score to each individual school or to PTCAS?

1. after you e-submit and pay they'll do it
2. you have to send it to each school's code, not ptcas.

1. The PTCAS GPA is automatically calculated once they receive the transcripts from the schools and everything is verified. Not sure if this is done prior to payment, but payment is necessary for PTCAS to forward the application to your schools of choice.

2. You have to report the GRE scores to your programs. PTCAS isn't going to add them to you application unlike mid-Sept (I think).

1. After you e-submit, and pay, PTCAS will start to verify all your classes with your transcripts. Once they are all verified, then PTCAS will calculate the GPAs.

2. As others have stated, you send GRE scores to each school's code individually. You can look up the codes on the PTCAS website. Once you use the codes on the PTCAS website, the scores will automatically be sent where they are needed, to PTCAS itself and/or the school directly. PTCAS has stated that they will be confirming and posting GRE scores around mid-September.
