Stanford application incomplete

[gellert]

I don't know how many others are having this issue, but the Stanford grad app status page is showing my app as incomplete despite all materials being in.

 

I called the grad admissions dept and they told me this often happens because all the materials are in, but the dept hasn't gotten around to looking at/compiling them yet, which makes the status read as "incomplete."  They suggested calling the dept if I had further concerns, which I don't feel the need to do.  I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on, if there's anyone else having this experience with the Stanford app.

My application also says incomplete. I called the anthropology department last Friday, and the person I spoke with said they would be notifying people if their applications are actually incomplete. Essentially, if you've sent everything in and paid the application fee, assume they have it. They'll let you know if they don't. Again, this was the anthropology department... it may be different for people applying to other departments.

Dear applicant,

If your application status is showing as 'incomplete' and you have already

sent us 2 sets of your official transcripts, have had your test scores sent

to the university, and have three (3) letters of recommendation submitted

in the system, please disregard the application status message. Because of

the volume of mail that we are receiving at this time, we cannot respond to

individual inquiries about materials not yet received. Rest assured that we

will contact you if we have questions about receipt of your supporting

materials.

Sincerely,

Computer Science Graduate Admissions

Stanford University

Thanks for posting this. I was a little concerned about my "incomplete" status as well, even though I had sent in all supporting materials. Glad to know it appears to be universal.

Mine says that too.  This is good to know. Thanks!
