Missing Stuff?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I'm doing SCEA, and I've been periodically checking on Axess for the status of my things.</p>

<p>Here is the latest one:</p>

<p>Credentials Not Yet Processed:</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>What worries me is that the teacher evaluations have NOT been processed. I did both of them online, and supposedly they are sent along with my application. I called Stanford to see how they receive them, and they suggested I contact Common App. since it seems to be their problem. When I contacted them, they said:</p>

<p>"Are you referring to Stanford. I show that both of the teacher recommendations have been submitted. I would contact the school again to let them know they were successfully submitted through the Common App."</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Does Stanford process the Evaluations seperately, or did they miss them when going through my application?</p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to look at my topic and offering any possible answers!</p>

<p>If it makes you feel any better, I have the exact same problem.</p>

<p>In my understanding, when the teacher recs are submitted online, it's up to the university to download them--in other words, it's probably just a case of Stanford having to re-download our recommendations. </p>

<p>I wouldn't worry about it right now, give them a few days to sort it out.</p>

<p>If it makes either of you feel any better, I have a similar problem, haha.</p>

<p>They have my Secondary School Report, but don't have my high school transcript.
They were both sent in the same envelope. Go figure.</p>

<p>I agree with thevidrohi, though, that waiting a bit would be good. The initial email from Stanford says:</p>

<p>"Before the end of November, you will be sent an email informing you of any credentials which are critical to our evaluation process that are missing. If we are missing any credentials, you will have until November 26 to submit them without any disadvantage to your evaluation. That email will explain in detail how you should submit any missing credentials so it is important that you do not fax or mail duplicate copies before then. "</p>

<p>Thus, I would wait until they send you an email saying, "Oh, BTW, we don't have yo teacher recs" and wait until then to contact them further. Just my two cents.</p>

<p>Cool, it's good to hear other people are having similar issues. At least I'm not alone :)</p>

<p>I'll probably end up waiting anyways. Thanks for the replies.</p>

<p>If Stanford is missing your documents, they'll contact you, and give you a couple of days to get it faxed in.</p>

<p>Hi botD....
If it makes you feel even better, I am having the same problem. My teacher recs. are not 'processed' even though they rcvd. that package on the 22nd....
I called them thrice and they say that you should probably wait till Monday or Tuesday to call us again if it persists....that may mean that they'll be thru all the Early Action mail by then.....
I hope they process my rec. soon....otherwise I will never be able to finish coordination chemistry....hehe...</p>

<p>Hey... When I was "googling" my chances of getting in (as I'm sure you all are), I came across this website and noticed that I have this exact same problem. Only one of my recommendations are missing, and, according to the Common App, it was submitted back in early September. I am going in to talk with my teachers to see if there's anything that could have possibly gone wrong on their end, since the Common App doesn't have a way to contact them directly. I know Stanford is pretty understanding with these kinds of things, yet the November 26th final deadline is making me nervous. Would you suggest that I just obtain hard copies of each of them and hope that Stanford will tell me which evaluation is missing? I'm beyond stressed right now. I can't wait for December 15th either way.</p>

<p>Is the problem of Teacher Evaluation not yet being processed still persisting for anyone?
Cause mine is still not processed....</p>

9

<p>One of mine isn't processed either :/</p>

<p>you guys should try hitting stanford up with an email. i saw that my two teacher recs were in but i wanted to know about my optional rec and they responded within four days that all three were in. write them an email--be brief--and they will respond and then youll know for sure whether it was sent in.</p>

11

<p>what email did you write to?</p>

12

<p>remember when stanford sent you an email about how to check your status application? write a reply email to that email address. I just basically said.</p>

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I am restrictive early applicant. [Question] I would really appreciate it if you could respond. However, since I know you get thousands of emails a day, if I do not hear from you, I will understand. </p>

<p>Thanks,
[my name]</p>

<p>Just sent a mail, took them about 8 minutes to respond.</p>

<p>Stanford is efficient :)</p>

<p>@pro28,
so what did it say about the missing teacher rec? I don't mean to pry but since I am going thru the same problem...
I called earlier today and they said that mail was still being processed.</p>

15

<p>The officer who answered it simply told me which teacher rec they already processed.</p>

<p>If they don't have everything by the date they need it, I'll just have the missing rec sent in again.</p>

16

<p>No such luck for me, but I guess it might take a few days as it did for neurochick for them to respons regarding my optional evaluation</p>

17

<p>NeuroChick - they replied and said they don't track optional documents. How did you manage to get them to tell you? lol</p>

18

<p>@lolcats4 I got the same response when I called to ask.....</p>

19

<p>Good news :D</p>

<p>^^^ Credentials Processed:</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>So don't worry, they are probably still going through everything.</p>

<p>thats SOOOO weird! well heres what i am thinking. my optional recomm was written up as a teacher evaluation because he was my science research advisor (I design and conduct an experiment as one of my courses for the past three years.) so, perhaps, they opened it and processed it as a third teacher evaluation. the rest of you prob sent in recs on blank sheets right? so, perhaps thats different.</p>
