[When would you follow up?]

I completed my app to the real estate development masters program at Texas A&M in October.

Deadline was 12/1; I confirmed that they had received everything and they told me that they would be making decisions "right after the holidays"...

Everyday it feels a little more like right after the holidays to me:/

When would you check in? End of the month? Mid February?

What rising_star said...

I worked in student housing and different functions within the property management industry throughout my undergrad...

Trust me, every company is different, every property within that company does things a little differently and every manager at every property has their own unique definition of what satisfies ID requirements.

On the one hand you have some companies who don't want a copy anywhere to reduce liability concerns for potential IDentity theft on the other extreme you might need to provide copies of your passport, visa, j-1/I-20, plus all of that for a guarantor/cosigner  etc...

 

Ive never heard of any identity theft actually happening especially in student housing, and especially with international students... I wouldn't sweat providing them with copies of what they request.
