update on transcript verification time

Members do not see this ad.

I know the official line is "4-8 weeks". However, there have been previous threads from the "super-early" applicants that showed their transcripts were verified in a day or two. Obviously the deeper we get into the app cycle the longer it will take.

My transcripts arrived at AADSAS by June 1st (I submitted my app on May 24th). Has anyone out there had their transcripts verified recently? If so, when did they arrive at AADSAS? I'm trying to gauge how patient I need to try to be. And I'm not a patient person, I HATE WAITING!!! And this is my 2nd time applying so you'd think I'd be better at the waiting, but I think it's worse this time!😛

Your transcript verification is the fist step. The total processing time runs until they actually send your app to your d-school list. You're still really early, don't panic yet.

I know all of that. I'm actually earlier than I was last year. Last year it took them 6 wks to verify my transcripts, then they kicked it back to me for a non-existant "error", so it was 8 weeks before my app made it to the schools. I'm hoping it will be quicker this year since I submitted it a month earlier. I'm just looking to see if anyone whose transcripts arrived around the time mine did has a GPA posted on their AADSAS app yet.

I keep logging in to my AADSAS website but there are no new messages regarding transcript verification. Would AADSAS send a message that transcripts are verified or an e-mail or do I have to look it up in the transcript section?

Last year, once my transcripts were verified I was able to see a GPA when I checked the status section of AADSAS. I don't remember if I received an e-mail.

Kami, Go to the "Status" drop down bar at the top of the application screen. You'll find what you're looking for in there; AADSAS won't send you a message.

So, AADSAS recieved my transcripts May 31 and I just checked my page today and they had verified the transcripts and posted my GPA's. I'm thrilled with my GPA as they have calculated it is more than 0.5 points above what I had expected!

Possibly someone can break down what the difference between the "GPA" and "GPA w/o" headings. Is it with and without the +/- system?

I submitted my application on May 16th. My transcripts were verified on the 25th and my entire application should be mailed out this Friday June 8th.

GPA includes + & - grades
GPA w/o is just straight A, B, C, etc.

Tiodrew, thanks for the info. That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. 👍

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my transcripts will be verified in the next day or two. They supposedly "flagged" my app so the same non-existant "error" doesn't occur this year.

I have to assume that each dental school has it's own preferance whether to consider the +/- system or not. I would also make a guess that most will honor the +/- system. No?

Each school makes it's own decision. Based on the ones that I've spoken with, if they give out +/- at that school, they accept the GPA with them, if they don't give out +/-, they use the GPA w/o.

How do you know when they mail out their batches?

How do you know when they mail out their batches?

Because the pre-dental advisor at my school has more access to the AADSAS stuff and she looked up my application, which stated "mailed out" 6-8-07. This was more helpful than when I called AADSAS. They didn't know the exact date batches would start to be mailed. She said the begining of June. After that they send batches out every week.

I submitted May 31st and GPA was posted today. That was super fast!! I am still missing one recommendation. I think AADSAS will send out my package without the recommendation, right? 😕

Also, I'm assuming most schools look at 'Science' as oppose to 'BCP' correct? My GPA without +/- is .3 lower than with... that seems like a huge difference... I would think schools would look at the higher GPA or so I hops so...

 

[jigabodo]

I did a search recently about differences in BCP, science and overall in the forum and I think it goes something like BCP=science>overall, although some schools emhpasize more on BCP while some tend to focus more on science.

Were your transcripts received before you submitted your application? I am still waiting for a transcript which is taking forever to get there/AADSAS to post 🙁

My transcipt was verified on may 22, and then i submitted on june 2. but my gpa still hasnt been posted. Does that transcript verification mean they received it but it's not verified?? im confused cuz some ppls gpas were posted a couple hours after they submitted.

 

[sportygirl]

I'm in the same boat as you...all my transcripts were received before I submitted my application, but GPA has yet to be verified. If you go to status and do not see a GPA posted then it has not been verified. I submitted June 3rd and am hoping my GPA will be verified soon!

 

[sportygirl]

has anybody had their gpa verified in the past few days? it seems like they are slowing down...i guess because we are getting deeper in the cycle!

Received is different from verified. GPA verification occurs only after you've submitted your application - when that happens, your GPA will be posted by AADSAS.

My transcript was received on May 30th, and verified on June 4th - that's 2-3 business days.
