For some reason, I always thought that our official transcripts that we sent to AMCAS got forwarded to each school. I guess not! Did you guys hear that it's illegal to forward our transcripts by AMCAS to each of our schools??
So now MCW is asking us to forward our OTs to them. Any other school have such a weird requirement??

no this is not a weird requirement at all...what you are also failing to realize that AMCAS has your grades for the most part up to spring (depending if you entered your grades in after you got ur spring grades or before!)
schools such as MCW, Northwestern, UCI, and there ARE OTHER SCHOOLS as well, that request YOU to send transcripts from all your schools, are also (don't forget) done so that they CAN GET AN UPDATED version of your grades that is INCLUDING SPRING, SUMMER and EVEN FALL And winter depending on when you interviewed....
in fact, while I was interviewing at UCSF, they didn't require me to send updated transcripts...but they also wanted updated "grades"...
the reason for this is, for some people after enting your last grades for AMCAS....you sometimes think your off the hook and you let your grades drop

I would be one of them, BUT schools that asked for updates, can check your transcripts and see if you have been naughty or nice
you should have seen how AMCAS was last year....and if you did you wouldnt be complaining at all
