Volatility Stalker Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 It is now March 30th and I just got a snail mail dated Feb 3rd. Saying that I'm still missing two references. Anyone has the similar situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lousy Test taker Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Oh man! that sucks,but wouldn't the grad school shoot you an e-mail regarding the same? Did you get to check your application online where it would notify you that your application is incomplete and is missing two references? I had to wait a month on one of my professors to post his recommendation,but he eventually did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DariaIRL Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Wow, that's terrible! I'd call them and let them know you received their letter nearly 2 months after it was initially dated, that you are very concerned about the delay and its impact on your consideration. Then ask whether emailed letters from the 2 recommenders (assuming they are at the ready and can do this ASAP) would help make your application complete without a late penalty. Paperless/online/email is the way to go, seriously. Sorry that happened to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digits2006 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Maybe since Feb 2 the other two letters have come in. Yes, call the school and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I had a similar problem with one school. In the site where I can check the status, it didn't say anything was missing. However, last Tuesday, when I asked about when decisions will be made, they replied that on February 5th they had sent me an e-mail saying that they didn't have my sample paper. I never received that e-mail and it was already the end of March. I sent my sample paper that very day. Today, I contacted the school to ask if they were going to consider my application and their answer was that they are revising it this week. So, apparently, I'm still in the game. You should contact the school and let them know about it. Maybe they haven't made any decisions on the application and they're willing to accept the letters you're missing. Good luck!

ootg Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I agree with digits2006 that you should give the school a call about the status, considering the note was dated in Feb. What was the delay in the delivery of the note!?! If they still lack the references, then you could get your LOR-writers to email them immediately.
