<p>So I applied a week ago to UMD and I have nothing (yes NOTHING!) when I hit "Is your application complete?".</p>
<p>I took the ACT in September and sent the scores to UMD when I registered, so it would make sense that they at least got them...or my transcripts + recs which were sent out at least a week ago.</p>
<p>Should I call them or something? Does Maryland usually take this long to update stuff?</p>
<p>I would give it another week and then call. I think they’re bombarded with applications and do take a while to post them. It took them 3 weeks to post my son’s SAT score, and that was after I called and they confirmed they received it.</p>
<p>so you can totally still call them, but they’ll probably tell you to wait a few weeks, i think it takes around 3 weeks to get stuff, at least in the mail, I wouldn’t be too worried about it.</p>
<p>All of your stuff just has to be post-marked before nov 1st right? And how long does it take for UMD to receieve SAT scores?</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll wait a week and give them a call then.</p>
<p>I remember last year, it took them about 3-4 weeks to log in all the stuff for D’s application. SAT scores, etc. are mechanized, etc. but when it comes to stuff mailed from your school, remember that there are people on the other end who have to go through it and get it entered into the system. And yes, sometimes stuff doesn’t get there, so you should ALWAYS go back and keep checking, and contact them if it’s been 3 weeks or so.</p>
<p>My daughter submitted her online app weeks ago. If the HS hasn’t sent everything yet (which I don’t think they have because teachers were dragging on the recs), should I give them my FED EX number so if they send it on Monday it arrives on Tues? I think I’m going to do that…</p>
<p>It’s your $$. I think they’d probably be fine (as long as they get there close to Nov 1.) The “deadline” they use for priority apps is the timestamp on the online application (or the postmark date if anyone is actually mailing a paper app in.)</p>
<p>So as long as the HS gets the packet out early next week, it’s ok? She submitted online in early October…I think I still need to light a fire under the GC.</p>
<p>@ Astropyhsicsmom…</p>
<p>are you sure about that? I’ve been told that everything needs to be in by their ‘deadline’.</p>
<p>Well they’ve finally recognized all my materials. I’m really impressed because my teacher mailed in the recommendation (literally) 3 days ago and that was “recognized” as well :)</p>
<p>Thanks again for all your help!</p>
