Checking application status

<p>Do they email us when they receive our transcripts, etc or should we call?</p>

<p>Did you do it through the common app? if so, log in and it should tell you if they downloaded your docs and when.</p>

<p>I did the common app, but my college transcripts, my secondary school report, and my arts supplement was done by paper.</p>

<p>Nevermind, you don’t. For future people:</p>

<ol>
<li>Will Pomona notify me when they receive my application? How will I know when my application is complete?</li>
</ol>

<p>The Office of Admissions makes every attempt to notify applicants if/when they are missing items from their application. In general, it may take several weeks to process the hundreds of pieces of mail received each day in the fall and early winter months. Therefore, the Office of Admissions cannot respond to phone inquiries about specific pieces of mail sent for an individual application. However, students will receive notification from the Office of Admissions–either by post or by e-mail–if their application is incomplete and what items are missing. Please note that if application materials are submitted on or just before the application deadline, it may take longer for us to provide notice due to the extremely heavy volume of documents that we receive in the days surrounding deadlines.</p>

<p>In addition, students who provide an e-mail address will receive a user ID and password to access their application materials checklist online after the vast majority of documents have been processed by the admissions staff. The applicant website will allow students to see which documents have been received and processed and which documents have yet to be received or processed. Please note that applicants are given two weeks upon notification of missing items to submit their missing materials to the Office of Admissions to complete their files. Late arriving Regular Decision application materials received after March 1 may not be accepted for consideration.</p>

<p>Once the Office of Admissions receives all required materials to complete an application for admission, the applicant will receive notification–either by post or by e-mail–that their application is complete.</p>

<p>If an e-mail address is provided in the application, missing items notification will be sent to that address, along with instructions for tracking missing items via the web site. If an e-mail address is not provided, the Office of Admissions will attempt to send a single notification of missing items via post. The College cannot be responsible for messages blocked by SPAM filter programs or problems with internet service providers or postal service delivery. Please be sure to set any spam filters to receive e-mail from Pomona College.</p>
