<p>I submitted my application about a week ago and have not received any confirmation or information from Penn. What should I be looking for and how long does it take? I keep having terrible visions that I find out on November 2nd that my application never went through!!!</p>
<p>I have the same question. All of my application materials have been sent and I have heard nothing from Penn. When should I worry?</p>
<p>same here!</p>
<p>aprox 2 weeks. at least in my case it lasted 2 weeks. Anyways, i have another question. on my application portal, it’s written that status of my
Application Signature N ,
Application Essay n
Penn Required Essay n</p>
<p>Does it mean that they did not get my essays and singature? Or what? I sent it by commonapp</p>
<p>Don’t worry, mine says that too. At the top of the page it says that they just started processing applications, so this would be why some things that they might have received are not indicated. For example, it says they have my transcript but not my counselor recommendation, but both were sent together three weeks ago. I’m sure it’ll be updated in the next few days.</p>
<p>I see, Torrek. Thanks a lot for that explanation. Are you applying under early decision?</p>
<p>Hijacking the thread. Sorry. But do we send in SAT and ACT scores now or when we get this ID?</p>
<p>Sorry I meant. When do we send in…</p>
<p>anytime you want (just before november 1st)</p>
<p>I sent my scores last may… i dont think it matters</p>
<p>Okay. I see. What about tests we’re taking in Nov? What do they mean by rush?</p>
<p>I think you can spend extra money to get your scores there faster in Nov.</p>
<p>
haha, thats real dedication to Penn right there</p>
<p>haha you know it!!! but that is when it was free so i thought it was the best time</p>
<p>hey how do they let you know your id for the penn application portal?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>you should receive all penn portal info in an email, i got mine a little over a week after I submitted my application.</p>
<p>for those who have already applied, how long did it take them to register that they received your transcripts and recs? my teacher told me she sent in her rec at least 2 weeks ago, and my other one was about a week and a half ago… yet they still claim they haven’t received them…what’s the deal and when should i worry?</p>
<p>one sec hotfuturengineer, you will only know what all they havent received once you get the ID right? cause im really confused.!</p>
<p>yes. i had no idea if they had any of my stuff for about a week until i recieved the ID. now that its been 2 weeks since i’ve applied im getting nervous because they havent recieved alot of my stuff. im pretty sure its been at least a week and a half since my transcripts were sent out, and a week and a half to two weeks since my recs were sent out, yet they have none of them yet! anyone else have this problem? how long has it taken them to register that they have everything?</p>
<p>It usually takes them quite a while since now is the time when they start getting bombarded with applications. It’ll take a while for them to sort through everything. Also, as long as you have your Penn ID and they received your Common Apps, you have nothing to worry about. If they really didn’t receive something, all you have to do is tell your counselor to send another copy. “You’re application didn’t go through” won’t happen ever.</p>
<p>ok so hotfutureengineer you sent ur recos and transcripts via mail or online? Also, what do u mean that you didnt come to know that they dont have it till like 1 week after the portal ID? Once you log in it automatically shows the status of all that right?</p>
