Submitting Mid/End of August?

[hh24]

Members don't see this ad.

I am facing a dilemma of submitting my app sometime next week versus 2 weeks from now. The reason for this is because I am waiting for a grade from one of my courses (nonscience) that I believe I got a good mark in (A/A+). However, the professor said marks will not be out for 2 more weeks. This makes me hesitant to wait any longer because I am a Canadian applicant therefore it will take 5 business days to mail my transcript down and then another two weeks or so for AADSAS to verify it. Based on this timeline it looks like my app won't be considered complete until the end of August... is it worth waiting for this grade to come out?

Thank you!

I know that grades took almost three weeks to calculate for me. If you want to apply this year, I would suggest you do it soon. Maybe some other members can confirm, but I think there is an "academic update" at some point soon?

I'm also Canadian, and I sent my transcript on June 5th, and it was received by June 17, and then my GPA was verified by June 29th.

Submitting it early is probably more beneficial than waiting for one A/A+

I agree with submitting now. It's taking longer for GPA verification, I submitted on June 29 (transcripts were received beginning of June) and am still waiting for verification.

Thanks for all the dates, it really helps me picture this whole process better! Btw did you mail it regularly or through a courier?

you're waiting for a non-science grade?? is your app complete otherwise? submit asap!!! you can send a new transcript when the grade comes out

I'd submit and then add that in at the academic update. I think it will have more impact then vs now.
