<p>I send all recs and transcripts by regular mail.
I just meant that you have no way of checking your application status until you get your ID, which should be about a week after applying.
Also, they are dealing with a lot at once, so they may have something or yours but haven’t yet sorted through it… so your status might not be updated right away.</p>
<p>oh ok thats helpful.
thanks</p>
<p>so if i submit my app on nov. 1, i won’t get my ID until nov. 15?</p>
<p>not sure how it works post nov1.
there is a backup now because they just started processing… maybe the process will be faster by then?</p>
<p>The process is much faster than the aforementioned 1 week - I think thats because they’re sitting tight and really starting to process everything now. I submit everything last saturday and received my PennPortal today.</p>
<p>Wait… has anyone’s stuff been totally received? as in PennPortal has indicated so?
i have been waiting for a while and I am getting nervous!</p>
<p>Nope. i have the same question. Does ANYONE’S penn portal state that ALL requirements have been received?!?!</p>
<p>Set Point: That’s weird because I submitted my app last wed and i still havent gotten my ID. Idk how they assign the ID but I hope I get mine soon.</p>
<p>just have patience, you’ll def get yours soon. anyway, to answer futurengineer, I’m also missing a few things on my PennPortal. I’ll update when i receive everything</p>
<p>Thank you Set Point… now they have gotten everything besides my teacher recs, counselor rec and secondary school report…odd because transcript was received and it was sent out with the counselor rec and the secondary school report… we’ll see i guess?</p>
<p>this makes me think they are doing everything in a pattern; the things you’re missing are the exact same things that they haven’t received from me as well. Im gonna guess they are all sitting in a pile that hasn’t been touched yet.</p>
<p>only my SAT scores and counselor recs are missing. are your SAT scores in?</p>
<p>I only sent ACT scores so far, but those were in the day after I sent them.</p>
<p>i have the same stuff missing–counselor rec and SAT scores.
counselor recs came with all my other school forms and haven’t been processed, and I sent my SAT scores beginning of the month–maybe they process SAT scores all at one time?
I had emailed them about this and they said not to worry and that if I’m missing anything they’ll let me know–so it’s not like if you’re missing one of the forms they cancel your app or anything.</p>
<p>Hey I submitted my application on the 15th of october, do you know when your interviewers will contact you?</p>
<p>it really takes a couple weeks for them to send a portal id?
i just sent my entire app yesterday.
does that mean i will not be able to send in my PFAS in time?</p>
<p>vsxy - interviewers contact you in mid-november but it depends upon the network of alumni who live in your area.</p>
<p>i have counselor rec and secondary school report missing</p>
<p>I need the penn ID also to fill out the penn supplemental financial aid form…sent them an email earlier today. I’m still waiting for a response though.</p>
<p>My daughter sent her entire application to UPenn via certified mail on 10/21/09 and she has not recieved any indication that they received her application. No return card was sent and she has not received her Portal ID. Since the application was sent 10 days ago at this point, it is making us nervous. We thought that sending the application certified mail would eliminate this kind of stress. Does it normally take this long to get the ID?</p>
