When people say "submitting everything before August," are supplements included?

I have heard a lot of people here said that applicants need to submit everything no later than the end of July in order to be considered "early." When you say everything, do you mean both the primary applications and secondary applications?
 
Well, if you have everything submitted by August 1st, then it still might take another week or two for your GPA to be verified. You generally wouldn't get a supplement until your GPA is verified, so that's likely put you submitting the supplement in the middle of August (they shouldn't take more than 2-4 days to complete).

All of these "dates" are just general guidelines, though. Especially with a strong application, there is plenty of wiggle room.

No, I think they mean have your AMCAS submitted, with transcripts received, by the end of July. Anything after that is getting late in the cycle.

Haha no! 🙂 I was saying that general advice is to have everything submitted to AADSAS by August 1st. Your application won't be fully completed until a bit later, but that's okay.

However, you generally want to get in your application as early as you can. There's no reason to put things off for longer than you have to!
