ToppDog Posted August 26, 2011 Well, today was the last Friday it could be mailed to meet this cutoff, & it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Anyone hear where they are at with processing apps?
knielsen Posted August 26, 2011 When did you submit your application? I am pretty sure for all the September 1st deadline schools as long as you submitted it on CASPA by that deadline they will still look at your application.
d.charles.jones Posted August 26, 2011 knielsen is correct, all the schools I'm applying to with a 9/1/ deadline (6 of them) I called individually just to verify. As long as your application is "completed/not verified" by Sept 1st, that is all that counts. Just to nail this point home, here is an excerpt from Northeastern University's website - as they have a Sept 1 deadline. Will I still be considered if I submit my CASPA application by the September 1 deadline but the program does not receive it for another 2 to 4 weeks? As long as your CASPA application is submitted to CASPA by September 1, the program will still consider it even if we do not receive it right away. However, your CASPA application will not be reviewed if your supplemental application is not received by the program by the September 1 deadline. Both applications are necessary for further consideration.
nkechim Posted August 26, 2011 Anyone hear where they are at with processing apps? When I called today they said they were verifying August 7th, which is odd since on Monday they were verifying the 9/10th.
knielsen Posted August 26, 2011 When did you submit ur application? I submitted mine 8/8 and it was verified in ONE day (8/9)
nkechim Posted August 26, 2011 Wow, one day!?! I submitted on 8/15. Still showing complete/not verified.
knielsen Posted August 26, 2011 shoooot :( Ya i was really suprised because last year when I applied I submitted my application in mid Septemeber and it took a month for it to get verified by CASPA.
d.charles.jones Posted August 26, 2011 When I called today they said they were verifying August 7th, which is odd since on Monday they were verifying the 9/10th. Yea, that's definitely not correct. I just called 10 minutes ago and they said they are now on to 8/15 which is consistent with what I've been told everyday that I've called this week. Good luck!

Not sure why, but I've heard the August 7th response twice now. Good news though that they're on the 15th! hopefully both of ours will go out today. Fingers crossed. Good luck to you as well!
cinntsp Posted August 26, 2011 shoooot :( Ya i was really suprised because last year when I applied I submitted my application in mid Septemeber and it took a month for it to get verified by CASPA. Applicants and re-applicants are in two different lines for verification, with the latter going much faster. That's why it was much faster this time around. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
ToppDog Posted August 26, 2011 Author I submitted on 8/15 too. If they're on 8/15 apps right now I still have a chance :) I'm applying to MEDEX, & while they state as long as you submit prior to 9/1 you will be considered for the early round of interviews, they also will not really look at any apps that are not complete, which means until the transcripts & CASPA GPA's are calculated & emailed, you will not be considered. Now I can still hope that CASPA finishes up before they choose all the applicants to interview for the first round.

Now I can still hope that CASPA finishes up before they choose all the applicants to interview for the first round. From what I was told, they only send them out electronically the Monday AFTER they get mailed out (Friday). This means that the next available electronic mailing for us would be 9/5. Is this wrong? I hope so...
ToppDog Posted August 28, 2011 Author Verified this Saturday. Didn't know CASPA worked on Saturday. Debating whether to call them & beg them to email it early.
cinntsp Posted August 28, 2011 Verified this Saturday. Didn't know CASPA worked on Saturday. Debating whether to call them & beg them to email it early. lol, good luck with that.
d.charles.jones Posted August 29, 2011 Verified this Saturday. Didn't know CASPA worked on Saturday. Debating whether to call them & beg them to email it early. CASPA said that each program has the ability to go online and print off your CASPA application and it will be an exact copy of what they will receive in the mail. I think you would have a better shot at begging the school to print it off (telling them why they're your #1) than having CASPA do it.

Any progress yet?
d.charles.jones Posted August 29, 2011 That's probably the best route. You submitted on 8/15 too. Any progress yet? Haven't heard anything yet. I've called them twice and one girl said my CASPA was completed on 8/18 and the other girl said it was completed on 8/15 (which is what I have). Hopefully it will be verified by today. CASPA seems highly incompetent.
Corpsman2PA Posted August 30, 2011 Submitted mine on the 15th, they received my final transcript (6 of 6) on the 22nd. Verified today! They said they'll ship it out with the next mailing.
cardsgirl Posted August 31, 2011 verified today!!! woohooooooo!!!!! I wonder when the first cycle of interviews are.....my school's deadline is Oct. 1st
