For those who wanted an update, CUNY emailed me back and said they received my scores! My application status now shows up as complete and has this under test scores ?:

!!! this is the best news I've heard all day

Well it looks like there must've been a silly mistake on my part! I attached a copy of my score report when I emailed them yesterday so maybe that'll clear things up.

That's infinitely more impressive and productive than what I've been doing ?

Oh gosh, I can empathize with this a lot. The other day I was looking at books thinking, "Wow that would be a great source for my resea--oh wait..." I have more or less come to terms that I'm not going to get in this cycle, but I still can't picture me doing anything in my future outside of academia.

ohhh I see! I guess I must've done something wrong on the GRE part of the application. And I also want my $27 back!! This whole process has wreaked havoc on my bank account ?

I think I might have found the problem: "Official documents, which are not required for review purposes, mailed to the Admissions Office will NOT be marked as received in the application checklist." Do GRE scores count as official documents? I also reported my scores on the application like it asked, so I'm unsure what would count as an unofficial GRE score report ?

That is helpful, thank you! I submitted mine on the 31st so maybe it is just delayed. I just find it weird that my GRE scores haven't been processed since I sent them in November. Anyway, I sent an email so hopefully I'll hear back soon!

Hey everyone, full-time lurker here! I just posted a topic panicking about one of my apps so I thought I might as well introduce myself ? I graduated last May, this is my first application cycle, and oh my goodness has it been a stressful experience. I'm interested in Modernist and fin-de-siecle literature, really love phenomenology and affect theory! What are you guys doing to pass the time and/or ward off endless anxiety?

I hadn't thought of that, I'm glad you mentioned it! I hope that's the case, I really love CUNY's program and don't want to ruin my chances.

Oh my....here we go: I was compulsively checking all my applications today even though I knew nothing new was gonna be there (as one does). I check CUNY, and nearly entered cardiac arrest. It said my application was incomplete, and incomplete applications cannot be considered. What made it incomplete you ask? It said my GRE scores were not received. The thing is I sent my GRE scores in November, and every other place has received them. I naturally panicked and emailed both ETS and CUNY admissions, but has anyone else had this problem before? Is this somehow my fault? Will they hold it against me even if there was some sort of mix up? Have I officially dug a grave for my poor little CUNY application? Edit: It should also be noted that when I view my actual application and go to the "Check your application" tab, it says I've completed everything I need for my application and that it's been successfully submitted. Does that mean there's any hope that this is just a mishap?
