Application Status

<p>Upon signing on today, I got this message:</p>

<p>Thank you for your interest in American University. Applications are currently being reviewed.</p>

<p>In the event that required documents are missing, you will be notified via mail. In the meanwhile, please visit our website (<a href=“http://www.american.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.american.edu</a>) to keep up with the latest news about American University. Admission decisions will be released by the beginning of April. </p>

<p>I really wanted to see if they have both recs, but now i can’t. Does american require 1 teacher rec? I’m worried they may have started looking at my application without having both (i sent the second one during the first week of jan)… </p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>they probably have a few weeks of just processing info. if you sent in the
1st week of JAN I am sure they will review it with your app. some schools don't even begin reviewing apps until FEB becuase it takes so long to get all of the materials in.</p>

<p>I think that I read that they require both (the one from your teacher and the one from your counselor) so they probably will wait for everything to arrive.</p>

<p>I got the same message when I logged in to see if mine had arrived yet. Incredibly nervous because this is WHERE I want to go...and if I don't get it then I'm stuck going somewhere I don't really want to be. </p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>i meant 2 teacher recs in addition to the counselor rec... anyone know if they need 2 or 1 teacher rec? </p>

<p>thanks everyone</p>

<p>One teacher rec
One counselor rec </p>

<p>Together they call them two recommendations...but only one is from an actual teacher.</p>

<p>From application instructions:
"Freshman applicants must have letters of recommendation from a teacher and a school counselor."</p>

<p>Thanks Nichole. I hope that they have and will look at my 2nd recommendation as I believe that it provides some more insight... Is it worth contacting the admissions office or can I assume that they will include it in my file and attempt to read all of my recs?</p>

<p>don't worry they will read it! and if they don't have it they will e-mail or call and tell you they don't have some of your info.</p>

<p>If you guyz are really worried email, <a href="mailto:afa@american.edu">afa@american.edu</a> and give them your full name, address, phone number and date of birth, and the document you want checked. From my experience they don't take more than 3 days to reply.</p>
