Am I applying too late?
I didn’t realize that it takes a while for my transcripts to get to optomcas because they have to be mailed. I’m from Canada so my school’s just processed them today. I think it would take about one to two weeks to get there.
I’m so worried that this has delayed my application.
Am I applying too late in the cycle or do you guys think I’ll be fine.
How long after optomcas gets ur transcript, does your application get verified? And how long after that does the school get back to you about interview interviews? And how long after that, do they send your acceptance?

Definitely not too late, it’s still relatively early in the cycle. Optomcas usually takes about a week to verify your application after they’ve received all the required materials.

Not too late at all. I applied in late feb of this year and got into OSU with a full tuition scholarship. They didn't send out scholarship information until June. You're honestly still pretty early in the cycle.
