EKR007 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hello! I am a senior at Bucknell and am taking Physiology and Microbiology this semester. Should I fill out the CASPA application in April and send it in ASAP just to get the ball rolling and then send updated transcripts after I graduate in May, or should I just wait to submit the CASPA until May when I can have my degree/final transcript included? I don't want to make things overly complicated for the programs I'm applying to but I also don't want to be a month behind. The schools I have asked have told me to submit in April and then send the updated transcript directly to the school but I am hesitant to apply that to all the schools. Has anyone else been in the same situation? BTW, My gpa now is a 3.69 cum in Neuroscience. My science GPA is above a 3.5, not totally sure offhand what it is. My GRE score was a 322 combined with 5.0 AW. I have about 800 hours of DPE as a Patient Care Assistant. Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cac4488 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Send it all in May. CASPA doesn't do its first mailing until early/mid June anyway and I think it saves you and the programs the headache to do it all at once. I waited until the end of May because I had one pre-req in the spring and I had no problems whatsoever. It was almost overnight that they verified it and several weeks before they sent the first mailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
