OSU recommendation process:(


Recommended Posts

I submitted application for 2015 fall semester, ECE-Ms program

And one of my recommenders said he sent recommendation email

However, on my application status, the transaction status of his recommendation is still 'in progress'

I don't know what to do in this status. Is it mean that recommendation is accepted?

On my OSU application it says that it can take several days for a letter submitted to reflect on the app. Like, up to 5 days. I wouldn't worry, though, as the Adcomm will have a timestamp either way and they don't start the review (I imagine; I speculate) until some time after the deadline. The departments have to talk to one another.

In my application status, the transanction status is 'In progress' about two weeks. :(

Another recommendation letter's transaction status is 'submitted' . And this recommender said he sent it this morning.

Would it be better to call graduation committee?

Talk to your professor and ask them to resubmit and make sure they get a confirmation. Sometimes the forms are poorly designed or the professor just messes up. Email the graduate coordinator and let them know about the technical difficulty. Ask if they can send the letter directly to the program via email if they can't get the technical difficulty resolved. Shouldn't be an issue but you should take care of this ASAP. Good luck!

I actually didn't use the online recommendation form for Ohio State - luckily the program I applied for at Ohio State allowed applicants' recommendation letter writers to email their letters directly to the graduate program coordinator (it sure made things a LOT easier for my recommenders!).
