<p>Anyone else having problems with RPI "losing" items? I know they have had a large increase in applications, but they have lost at least four items sent in by my son, including the application fee payment that was paid on their website. And whenever he has called, he has been told to wait for them to log in the items, but it has now been over a month since the last item was sent. Frustrating.</p>
<p>Yup. They're missing my school report and recommendations, all of which were sent in mid-December but got all the common app stuff, including fees.</p>
<p>I had the same problem two years ago (if I recall correctly, RPI and CMU were the two that were particularly bad at this). It did, however, get cleared up in the end (at RPI at least... CMU's admissions office didn't reply to my emails and their support just told me that they'll update as soon as they get the item until I got a rejection letter, with the site still claiming that the items were missing and the decision is pending).</p>
<p>As my situation didn't end up to well (in the CMU case), I'm going to refrain from giving advice here.</p>
<p>I called the admissions office last week because I wasn't sure if they had gotten all my info. RPI has been swamped with early decision apps this year so they haven't gotten their computers updated too recently. They did say that if anything was missing they would have notified me by email or letter.</p>
<p>same thing happened to me, i was worried, and now that I know other people are having a same problem, it's sort of relief...</p>
<p>still not updated...</p>
<p>My son called last week and was told that they were finally starting to scan in regular decision documents; they had just finished with early decision documents. We'll see.</p>
<p>update: I just called the admissions office and the person who answered the phone said if he were me, he wouldn't use the online tracking system at all because it hasn't really been updated. He said if something was missing, RPI would notify me to get the missing information.</p>
<p>My D sent in transcripts, recs and scores in Oct. Common app stuff in Dec. Common app stuff was up in a week or so. The stuff that sent sent in October....posted yesterday!</p>
<p>same here. The things sent in the earliest were posted about a week ago.</p>
<p>Got my transcripts sent in December reported on the 27th of Jan. :D</p>
<p>everything on there now, but with January processing dates....</p>
<p>it's updated, but first it says my app fee is waived and then awaiting: app fee...
it's nothing to worry about right?</p>
<p>D applied 11/3 and the last of the stuff was posted 12/1. So no real problem for us. I guess we got lucky.</p>
