Hello,
I hope this is not repetitive, but my school requires that I send in a paper copy of my transcript to AMCAS, which could take up to 25 days to process. With the app opening on the 3 of May, I do not have the 7-digit code to send with my transcript. Is it acceptable to send my transcript without this code to AMCAS, or should I wait until May 3rd to get the code? I just want my app sent as soon as possible, thank you!

You should not send a transcript without the appropriate cover sheet. Otherwise how do they match it with the other tens of thousands of applications?

This^^^. You'll be forced to deal with even worse delays if your transcript is put to the side once it is received because they don't have the code. It sucks, but "up to 25 days" doesn't mean it will take 25 days!

You are just asking for trouble if your transcript doesn't have the code and you are counting on someone stopping what they are doing to manually look for your application because you didn't follow explicit directions. It could happen, but I wouldn't count on it.
