I received an e-mail saying I have missing documents for Brown (test scores) but I had taken a January SAT and included that in a score report. However, it still says I’m missing something.
Can someone ***** respond jeez
It can, yes. Doesn’t always. Until you have all of the required documents, the decision makers are not going to be looking at your file. The later they look, the fewer spots left.
Actually I should mention that I’m not 100% sure on what my application is missing because the Brown website is a total mess up and is not allowing me to login. But I’m assuming its one of my test scores as that can really only be it.
But is it really that influential? This was out of my hands and I sent in the scores like I was supposed to. Plus they choose now to contact me nearly 3 weeks after the test.
Call Brown. An application package goes through a process. It is likely that the first step of the process is to determine if it is a complete package. It is also likely that only complete packages are sent to the next step in the process. You are probably still in the stage where it is not “too late”. Call them now. I do not think that your package will get “demerits” for being late. But I do think that post #2 has validity.
OP, how does your issue constitute an emergency on our parts? A 10 minute bump with attitude?
You need to contact Brown to find out what’s missing and correct it.
I would call them now except that their offices are closed.
So am I to understand that sending in materials early would grant a student a better shot at a school?
Having a completed application by the due date means students have a better shot. Applications which are incomplete as of the application deadline will be at a disadvantage, yes.
Maybe you are saying your test scores should have been received on time but have not. If you are on notice that your application is incomplete, as an applicant, it is your responsibility to find out what is missing and address it.
But I thought that colleges were lenient when it came to things such as test scores when its out of your hands for them to arrive on time?
I am looking at my SAT score tracker on the College Board website now as I type and Brown is listed as a recipient for the SAT Math Level 2 score that will release in 2 days. Brown states on its website that it accepts January SAT scores. I’m not sure of why I received this e-mail.
Oh yeah the e-mail says “Thank you for applying to Brown. We have found that your application to Brown is not yet complete, but please don’t worry!” is that please don’t worry part just phooey and deception
We don’t know how influential it is. And there is no way of knowing. It’s POSSIBLE yes, but, for all you know most students have things missing. There is nothing you can do about it other than find out if anything is missing when the office opens and get the missing items there ASAP. That’s ALL you can do. There is luck involved in this process too. It COULD make a difference, it could hurt your chances, yes. But whether it is or not, is not something you can find out. You can just hurt your chances more making a donkey and nuisance of yourself with the admissions office. So you just nicely find out what’s missing and get it to them with as little fuss and fanfare.
But what I’m concerned about is if other colleges that require the “missing” SAT 2 will send me an e-mail saying the same thing.
Again I ask though, I thought that colleges were lenient when it came to things such as test scores when its out of your hands for them to arrive on time?
If it truly is out of your hands. Did you order the test scores in time to get there (i.e. not after the due date)? Did you take the test before the college stated testing cut off?
Relax kid stop freaking out. This is not an emergency so do not call it that.
Brown follows the same procedure as Cornell, which states “If you took the January SAT and requested your scores be sent to Cornell, we will receive them in time for admissions consideration. Score reports are typically received three weeks after the test date. If you have not already requested your scores be sent to Cornell University, please submit the missing standardized test results within one week.”
Gosh CC is full of antsy, frantic children
This happened to me in with Emory! Something had happened and even though college board said my scores were sent they never received them! Email them or call and tell them the date that collegeboard said they sent it and they’ll tell you what to do from there, it was solved rather quickly and turns out it was “demographic discrepancy” that stopped my scores from loading onto my file. They’ll understand!
