SOPHAS clarification

[kingduck]

I had recently submitted my SOPHAS application.

A couple weeks ago, I made the request for my transcripts to be be sent from an institution, but it is taking a while for the registrar to process the information. Additionally, I had ordered my GRE scores, but I have no guarantee they will make it in time for my December 1st deadlines. My question is, how do departments evaluate SOPHAS material that come in later? Will I be penalized for the delay in the getting some of the supporting documents in, or am I ok so long as it has been postmarked before the deadline? My SOPHAS applications are showing as received but no verification yet. I'm assuming it would only happen on a business day.

I have never used SOPHAS before, so this has been quite hectic for me.

Most places know transcripts and GRE verification are out of your hands and are okay with them arriving a few weeks later. You’ve already entered grades and scores into the application. Admissions really just want to verify the scores are legitimate and most likely they will not review that until after the new year.
