Can we submit to different schools at different dates?

[Neurobics]

If I meet all the prereqs for one school now but need to wait until I finish my summer class to apply to another, can I apply to one school now and another at a later date?

[DiggySRNA]

Yes, but be wary because once you submit, your transcript, GPA, and other modifiable information will be locked.

What Diggy said. You can apply to more schools, but can't add your new classes/ grades.

So that means I basically can't apply to any school yet until I have this last prereq done if I intend to apply to the school that requires the prereq be completed before submittal and the other schools do not?

 

Bummer..

Physix37,

 

Your statement above is not necessarily true. Check with the individual school, if they allow you to have classes in progress at the time of application then you should be ok. Many schools allow one or two classes to be in progress as long as they are documented as such in your CASPA application. They will often not need you transcripts unless you receive an offer of admission.

Hope that helps.

The school I am talking about in particular explicitly states that all prerequisites must be complete at the time of application whereas all of my other programs say they allow 1 or 2 to be in progress. So basically, this one school is bottlenecking me from applying to the other more lenient schools until I have this last pre req done so when I click submit I'm not locked out of applying to the more strict program when it comes to completion of prereqs.

Is the more strict  program one of your top choices?

 

I ended up restructuring my list of programs I planned on applying to. UC Davis is in my top choice and their deadline is way sooner than others and I opted to submit early (For UCD) than wait it out (programs with later deadlines).

I see. Yeah it kind of is, the location is good, it's cheapest by far, and has good PANCE rates. It's okay, I can still apply to the other programs but the date of submittal won't be best. I guess I can look at it as at least they will see I have another A in another core prereq rather than an IP lol

But you actually can update your transcripts... the only thing is once you are verified, the GPA won't change.  I am applying to all schools now, except for one because I need the prereq- even though the grades will be only "entered" not verified.  The school told me that was fine- and they will have me send the final official transcript to them if they give me an interview

Oh, I'll check with my school if they'll let me do that because then I can submit to the other schools earlier. Thanks!
