When to send transcript request form?

[Sceneofcrime]

Hi guys. I was just wondering when would be the time to give my school a transcript request form to mail to PTCAS? I plan on applying this cycle for many of the Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb programs. Should do it asap even though I still have 2 more prereqs to finish up (a&p 1 and 2)?

Thanks,

SoTC!

Do it ASAP.

You can do an "Academic Update" later for your current classes, as per PTCAS:

In my case, it took 5 weeks from the time I sent the transcript request to my undergrad institution to the time it got posted at PTCAS.

Thanks for the reply. I knew the processing time would be ridiculous.

You need to send them NOW - ASAP so your PTCAS application is "complete"-they need to verify your transcripts, then again for the acc. update in Dec. Check out the link that Jlbil posted.

FYI - I just got an email from PTCAS stating that the "Academic Update" period is now open. So those of us who took pre-req classes in the Fall need to get ready to send our updated transcripts in.
