OkayforNow Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 So I got an email from a school a couple of weeks ago letting me know that my application was incomplete because one person had not submitted their letter of recommendation. My online application was also updated to say "Incomplete." I had submitted my application online somewhere around February 22 and everything was due on March 1. The person who wrote the recommendation wound up submitting it a week ago and I can even see on my Apply Yourself account that it's in but my application status has yet to be updated. The school said that they would email me when they got the recommendation but they haven't yet. Does this just mean that they are really busy and just have not gotten to my application yet? Or maybe they have already tossed my application aside? I have thought about emailing or calling them to check but I have already contacted them to make sure that they had my transcripts (because that did not get updated either) and while they did respond, the tone of the email made me think that perhaps I was annoying them a little . Any information would be great, thank you!
Amalia222 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I have heard from multiple sources that they will still consider your application even if one LOR is outstanding. Your best bet is to email them, asking for confirmation that the LOR has been received and that your application is complete. I know, it might be annoying, but I don't think they can deny you just because you sent too many emails, hehe.
OkayforNow Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 You're right...I'm entitled to some clarification. Thanks:)
jordanami Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I had some transcripts take over a month to arrive.... some take longer than that to be processed. I've just come to the realization that there is only so much about this process that I can control, the rest is up to.... well, let's hope it's fate and destiny more than human error:).
