I submitted my application 2 weeks ago (June 26th). And yet, no signs of transcript verification. I'm taking the DAT next week so I guess the application and the scores will get to the schools by mid-August. Can I at least get considered for the early interviews?
 
Verification is slow because you applied two weeks ago. Most schools will not even consider your app until everything is in.
 
AADSAS has 4-6 weeks to verify your transcript. The higher volume of applications they're dealing with - the longer it takes. That's why it's recommended you submit early to avoid the huge crunch of applications that come in around this time. You can't do anything about, so try to relax and keep your checking it down to 1-2 times a day. 🙂

You might still be in the early interviews batch and get some in late October or November. As to when you're application will be looked at: Depends on when the school starts reviewing applications - some have already begun and others are on break til mid-August. At this point, I would concentrate on doing well on the DAT and try to chill! Good luck!
 
I e-submitted my app the same date as OP and my transcripts also do not show verified status on AADSAS yet, although my GPAs have all been calculated. I wonder what this means 😕

IF AADSAS posted your GPAs, that means your transcript was verified.
 
I guess I'm in a similar situation. I e-submitted on 6/29, and i got an email from my school on 6/30 saying my transcripts have been sent. The AADSAS website still says my transcripts haven't been received yet, and I'm getting pretty nervous right now, esp since people have gotten interviews. Is anyone else in the same situation? Or did my transcripts get lost in the mail?

When did you submit your transcript??? It took 11 days from the day my transcript sent to get upload on AADSAS

I'm assuming the day my college emailed me saying it was sent. On 6/30. So, its been over 11 days now. And now, I'm getting even more paranoid. It might be because I didn't use the transcript matching form? Everything is online at my school, so I couldn't attach or submit the form.

I suggest you call AADSAS customer service and explain your situation. About the transcript matching form, they said on AADSAS that they recommended to use it but not required (one of my cc college i forgot to attach transcript matching form), so i don't think the problem lies in the transcript matching form, maybe got lost in the mail or sent to different address. But just to be sure call them. They are pretty helpful.
 
AADSAS took an ungodly long time to verify my GPA, probably about a month and a half.

You guys gotta keep the faith! I e-submitted on 6/19, and I literally just had my GPA's verified (AADSAS link and SDN link both immediately get the click once logged on). For anybody that may know, which of the two GPA's - w/o +/- or with +/- do the adcoms typically use as their go-to GPA? I haven't been able to find any threads on this, so if anybody knows or can throw a link up to a thread, that'd be, like, super duper.
 
I submitted my App on July 4th and my GPA is already verified!

Hmm so for some people it took 4 days and for others, it took 4 weeks. I have a feeling I'm going to be lingering on the latter side.
 
There's nothing you can do about it. Last year my transcript was received and verified in 2 days. I'm pretty sure it depends on how easily your transcript matches with the descriptions you provided on the Coursework section (some schools do a terrible job of describing the course in a one line).

I don't know anything about the american DAT since I'm Canadian, but seems like you should be good to go by August. Its still early, the 2007 cycle hasn't ended yet (waitlists and such).
