transcript issues, advice

Hi everyone!
So the transcript saga has been fairly long for me. My main transcript went in fine, but I took one community college course in high school, so I included that as well on the courses taken. I started the process of sending a transcript in May 19th (that didn't quite work because the online service was wonky, required a signature or something), and then when I realized that problem, went in a few times to the office and when it was finally open, did the fastest option (one day processing) on June 1st. Being a little worried, I sent in another transcript the 16th with rush processing. Now, I am just waiting on the transcript to get in so that my primary can be complete. Is there anything I can do short of going to the AMCAS centralized transcript office, and diving in the thousands of transcripts that they likely have piled up?




TLDR: Still waiting on transcripts... what should/can I do?

Breath in, breath out. It'll be OK.

We are the same person apparently. I had one summer camp like thing I did in high school. It was only 2 weeks! But apparently it had 4 units of college credit from UCLA. I remembered it late, and had to get my friend who lives down there to drop off an extra-super-rush transcript request in person because they will not do any type of electronic transmission, either of the request form or the transcript itself (why god why). It still shows as not received and is hanging my entire app.

I have the same issue. It is only 2 credits at a third rate school from the summer of my freshman and sophomore years.

So I guess when will it not be okay?

As a more general question to everyone, at what point would it be better to wait till next year if the transcripts are late enough? Say they haven't arrived by July 14th? What about early August? I obviously would prefer to not have this happen, but just assessing worst case scenarios.

I've heard July 4th as the final submit date to still have the early edge.

Transcript just got in today!! I was literally about to go FedEx it, but checked my email, and voila, it was there.

So being ready to review June 29th, around when should I expect to be complete/receive secondaries?

Also @gonnif thanks. I needed some reality on the issue. I think just the uncertainty of it was stressful. I think what ended up happening was that my first transcript was lost in the mail, so that feeling of a transcript that should have gotten there.

Sorry all for the neuroticism!
