TMSDAS transcript question

[Bromination]

Members don't see this ad.

So I am graduating this May and my school does not finish up graduate transcripts until June 7. I know this is alright for AMCAS, however TMSDAS starts accepting submissions in May. Should I wait for my graduate transcript or go ahead and send them my present transcript when May rolls around? I only needed 10 credits this semester so its not going to add much more to my app.

Get your undergrad transcript sent in now, and add the graduate transcript later. This lets you complete your application sooner, as they don't have to receive and process the graduate transcript before sending your app to the schools you apply to.

Last cycle I sent in graduate transcripts as the year went on, and TMDSAS would update my records each time they received an additional transcript. But all the schools I applied to had my application before that happened.

By graduate transcript I meant undergraduate transcript with Spring 09 class's on them...(indicating that I have graduated)

*frown* Well, send in what you have when May 1 rolls around, but they probably won't verify your app until they have a transcript with your spring classes on it.

In reality, don't worry about it. Schools don't start sending out interview invites until July anyways, so any time in May and June to be complete is essentially the same. I submitted in mid-late July and still got interviews from all of the TMDSAS schools before the first pre-match date.

Is the timeline for TMDSAS same with AMCAS? When does TMDSAS open and when can you first submit it? Is it open on May 1st and and can it be submitted on June 1st, like the AMCAS?

No, TMDSAS opens earlier. You can submit it starting in May.

Actually it doesn't open earlier, you just can immediately submit on May 1 (no staggering between opening and submitting).

I meant TMDSAS opens earlier for submission than AMCAS, but I did forget that there's no staggering. I can't believe it's been almost a year since I filled out that ass-backward application.

My transcript won't be ready until mid-June. This is perfectly in time for the AMCAS. But not for the TMDSAS.
Do you guys know if I can submit my TMDSAS in May with everything sent in except the transcript?
Or do you guys advise waiting until mid-June when my transcript is out?

P.S) Are Texas schools rolling admissions?

 

[Habeed]

Yes, you can submit without that transcript. Yes, it will give you an edge if you submit earlier, assuming your GPA is high enough without the spring grades.

Texas schools are rolling admissions for the prematches, which is the least stressful way to get in to a Texas school.
