Did you guys know about the color coding? I was under the false impression that the application just needed to be submitted by the deadline but apparently thats not the case:

CSDCAS DEVELOPING PROGRAMS LIST 2015-2016 Cycle:

WHAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETE BY A PROGRAM’S DEADLINE DATE?

Individual deadlines are determined by the CSD programs, NOT by CSDCAS. What each program requires by its posted deadline date varies widely and what is acceptable for one program may not be acceptable for another. Each CSD program categorizes its deadline into one of the color categories below and reports their selection to CSDCAS. These colors are then displayed on the charts above. If you have any questions regarding what a school is looking for by its deadline, please contact the CSD program directly.

BLUE DEADLINE: E-SUBMITTED APPLICATION REQUIRED	ORANGE DEADLINE: COMPLETE DATE REQUIRED	GREEN DEADLINE: VERIFIED APPLICATION REQUIRED	WHITE DEADLINE: PROGRAM HAS NOT REPORTED COLOR CODE TO CSDCAS
Applicants must e-submit their CSDCAS application by 11:59pm EST on the deadline date. Documents are not required to be received by the deadline date.	Applicants must have a complete date on or before the deadline date. A complete date is given when an application is e-submitted and all transcripts and payments have been received by CSDCAS and attached to the application. Documents should be sent several weeks prior to this date to ensure items arrive on time.	Applicants must have their application verified (GPA calculated) by the deadline date. Applications must be completed (e-submitted, payment received, and transcripts received) at least four weeks in advance of the deadline to ensure the application is verified on time.	This CSD program has not reported its deadline date color code to CSDCAS at this time.

Yeah...you'll be having tough luck if a bunch of your CSDCAS schools are green colored.  Lucky for me, I only had 1 green while the rest were orange and blue.  I hope you met those deadlines tho?  Is it too late for you?

[Slp123*]

So green means it must be verified before the date shown. Orange means documents sent in and app submitted by date. But no verification required yet? And blue means not everything needs to be in but app submitted by date shown. Do I have this right?

 

i submitted an orange with the deadline of Han 1st yesterday. But requires verification. Will I be late?? Because it won't be verified until after?

No luckily for me I'm all e submissions. No greens except one and I'm on time for that one. I just don't understand why this is under faq and not under the program status thing... Like I didn't read the WHOLE faq....

How does verification work with updated transcripts? For example, there are a number of schools that require verified applications by 1-15-16. Most transcripts from fall aren't even sent out by universities until after the New Year. There is no way to allow 4 weeks from the time they will be received until the due date.

updated transcripts should be sent directly to the universities upon acceptance in april (thats what most of them say) some scholols want you to send an updated transcript directly to them. it depends on the program.

also verification doesnt seem to take 4 weeks from what people posted

[Dazree]

thanks for this

[Crystal Renee]

thank you for this info... I had NO idea that submitting in January would cause me so much anxiety. CSDCAS has not verified me yet and I submitted a few days ago. CDSCAS has all my transcripts and my letters just waiting on verification. My schools are in the orange, should I be freaking out?

 

[SoLa]

When I figured this out two weeks ago, all my schools were orange, so I applied to a totally different list of schools. Luckily, verification took only a few days, even though I had 4 (rather complicated) transcripts to process. 

So there's still hope, especially if your deadlines are in February!

I'm still fuming a bit, since the deadline isn't actually, you know, the deadline.

I am reading the only schools that need to be verified are the green coded ones, right?  The orange just need to be submitted with ALL documents and paid for?

I believe you are correct! I am kind of in the same boat as you, because one of my schools I got high school college credit through took FOREVERRR to send my transcript, even though I did rush order before the New Year. CSDCAS has still not received it (which sucks because it's for my chem/physic prereq... waiting on one class to show up...) but I sent it in just about 10 days ago (CSDCAS told me it could take up to 10 days). The rest of my college transcripts have been in for a while now. I submitted my application in December, and I was not told until the end of December my application could not be verified (major freak out!) It should be receiving it within the next day or two, though! I have constantly been on the phone with CSDCAS checking, because one of my schools was such an unnecessary hassle....I did a rush order and it took a week to even say I got it sent out, when it said it would take one business day!

I am usually not a last minute person, so it is hard for me to handle this! I just am worried I will not be verified, but my only green deadline is in February (the rest are orange). If it helps, get in touch with CSDCAS. When I called, they put a special note on my application to verify it as soon as everything is in, because I submitted a month ago. So if my deadlines are orange on January 15th, and I have all my stuff sent in, but not a verified application, I should be okay?? It may also help to email the schools, but as long as you submit your application, the schools should be able to see what has all been submitted so far. One of the schools got in contact with me and said they could see my submitted application and what I had so far, even though I am still missing one transcript for (literally) one class. Just is annoying because I took college credit through two colleges in high school, and one college shows up without even requesting from that school (I still did, though, just in case), but the other one did not. SO confusing yet my dumb mistake. I am planning on emailing my universities and hoping for the best, but I believe I will be okay, and so will you!

When I called CSDCAS today they informed me that I should be just fine because all of my schools are in orange and blue. At this point I'm only waiting on the verification process. Thank God I did not have a green school! Thats great that CSDCAS put a note on your file. I would try to stay calm about that verify because what I have read so far it could only take a few days. You still have a couple weeks left for that Feb. 1st deadline!

Okay perfect! Yeah I know I will be fine, I just do not like the idea of being right on time. It could have been solved a lot quicker, but it's what's meant to be I guess! I also looked wrong, all of my schools are orange, so even better! No greens!

Opinions on the mysterious dates in white?

Awesome! Now you have even less to worry. I think waiting will be the worst part anyway lol!

Did you email the schools that are listed in white and ask them what they expect?

i went with the safe route of just labeling them as green in my head

[tea4me]

white = green and all the other important colors one can imagine and submit things to!

[SoLa]

After talking to several admissions departments and department contacts, it seems like nobody takes the deadlines as seriously as CSDCAS would have you think. It seems that folks are fairly understanding of the fact that transcripts and LORs are, to some extent, out of our control. 

In my opinion, CSDCAS is a joke of an organization that gets its kicks from making things unnecessarily buggy. And that's why schools are increasingly opting out.
