Is my application toast? What do you think I should do? Some tips from my own experience: I did notice that while a majority of schools were asking for unofficial scripts, some schools did ask for copies of official transcripts. And actually it is explicitly noted on my official transcipt that official transcipts may only be used by the assigned recipient. So I contacted those schools asking for official transcipts about what I was supposed to do. The solution was to order an official transcipt to be sent directly to the school you are applying for. At least for the school I attended, I was able to specify the recipient of my official transcipt. Upon contacting your prospective schools, they will provide you with email addresses to be used as recipients. This works if your school uses a qualified file transfer system to send official transcipt, such as Parchment. Once your prospective schools receive your official transcipts directly sent from your attended school, they will update the status of transcipt for you and you don't need to upload any thing. Hope it helps (or it's too late ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly missed mine, only saw it because I was checking my spam for another email I suspected went into that folder, so I’m happy to help! Could you elaborate on that? Like the Gmail spam folder? And does it say UNC admissions? I dont think I have one but Im hopeful haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Type C8H10N4O2 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Also if you're an International student, I made a separate topic called 2021 International Biomedical Applicants since we see a few different things on the admissions side. I've also noticed a lot of interview results dont include Internationals so it would be nice for us to keep track between ourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Research Enthusiast Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Hello guys, I am an international applicant with Bachelors in Pharmaceutical Sciences and MS from a US university. I have applied to UTSW, Baylor, U of Utah, UNC - BBSP - Toxicology, UPenn - BGS - Pharmacology Graduate Group (PGG), UT Health- MD Anderson, NYU Vileck Institute, Mount Sinai - Icahn, UC Berkeley, and UT Austin. UTSW asked me to complete the secondary application but no update after that. I have received interview invites from Baylor and U o Utah. But haven't heard anything from the rest.
