<p>Right now only about 15 percent of the early action applicants are complete. It's just us being crushed under 300,000 pieces of mail. Please be patient with us. The reason we are sending you generic replies is because the database is not showing us more information than the credentials checking feature -- each mirrors the other. We can't "go check" on whether we've received something. We can just copy and paste our generic replies and know that in a few weeks, this will all be solved.</p>
<p>We usually send the "there's something wrong" email in early December.</p>
<p>Also, there are many reasons why some documents from one package might show up, and others might not. For example, many of your transcripts are watermarked, so we have to set them aside and scan them later. Or your supplemental material was a gigantic wire sculpture (you know who you are).</p>
<p>300,000 envelopes + postage. just imagine, if we all put our application postage money together in one fund, we could bring an entire african nation out of poverty.</p>
<p>but we won't, so I'll express my extreme relief that my credentials finally showed up today! yay!</p>
<p>question, though: do supplemental materials show up on your online account? my additional reccomendation did, but not my supplemental materials. uh-oh?</p>
<p>This morning we're about 20 percent complete. We're going to have a reading party tonight and order food from the Florian. I can't wait!</p>
<p>I suspect that in the back room they're scanning supplementals last, because they want to scan all the required documents first. They should show up on your account.</p>
<p>mz16......you CAN NOT be serious! HS, you know, as in high school? It's the same thing as a "secondary school transcript" if you are still actually worried.</p>
<p>The reading party does sound fun. I'd love to read what people came up with.</p>
<p>I hope the admissions staff likes my essay. My sophomore english teacher was reading it and she couldn't stop laughing. I think that's a good thing?</p>
<p>No, that's a bad thing. Someone once said (Rousseau, me thinks?) that sophomore english teachers are a sign of the Apocolypse. Be very very very very afraid when you make a sophomore english teacher laugh. Be very afriad. I'm warning you now. Don't be afraid when the sky opens up and a bleeding paper falls in your lap.</p>
<p>Hmm...I thought the 20% was scanning the required materials for the credentials missing? Because if it isn't, I'm really worried since half my stuff seems to be missing.</p>
<p>We are at least a week away from sending the "you're stuff's not here" email. When we're ready to send it, I'll post on here so you can all look at your credentials and see if you're complete.</p>
<p>It looks like my applications have finally loaded for today, so off I go to read.</p>
