Not Yet Received/Processed?

<p>My highschool sent out my transcript, teacher recommendations, and secondary school packet on Oct 25, and Columbia's online tracker has processed everything except one of the recommendations. How long should I wait until I get worried about it getting processed? I call the admissions office a few days ago and was told that they're still processing information, and my school is certain that both recommendations were sent out.</p>

<p>PS everything else was processed by Nov 1, if that makes a difference</p>

<p>The same thing has happened to me- will they let my teacher send out another letter of recommendation if it seems it's gotten lost?</p>

3

<p>Same as well with me--I called the admissions office and they said that if something was indeed missing, they would send an email.</p>

4

<p>me too! and my teacher mailed it two and a half weeks ago. i figured i would wait another week before calling the admissions office. weird. teacher form A?</p>

5

<p>That's what mine was-- I just checked today though, and it had been received. Weird.</p>

<p>Also, my secondary school report and transcript were received on October 24th (or close to that date), but now it's saying my SSR is received but my transcript isn't. Ahhhh?!</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>Obviously your school send them out in different envelopes and at different times.</p>

7

<p>Sorry, I didn't really explain that well-- I meant at one point the Admissions Tracker said my transcript was received, but now it's saying it hasn't been.</p>

8

<p>That is exactly the same thing that happened to me! Everything but 1 teacher rec has been recieved/processed, and I know for a fact that both teachers mailed their recs in mid-October.</p>

9

<p>quix, maybe there was a problem with it and they couldn't accept it? call the office and ask!</p>

10

<p>Alright, it's been 2 and a half weeks now, and everything I sent in is listed as received except for that one teacher recommendation. Should I be worried? I'll probably call Admissions on Monday.</p>

11

<p>Same here. My Teacher Recommendation A has yet to be received.</p>

12

<p>Mine was finally recieved. Teacher A sent her rec in ~October 20, and it finally showed up online November 15.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, they havent recieved/processed my Teacher Rec B either. Dont worry about it too much since it seems like alot of people are in the same situation as you! :P</p>

14

<p>Ahhh, this is consoling. I've been experiencing the same thing. Rec B.</p>

15

<p>Uh oh. Called Admissions today, turns out someone lost it somewhere (not sure if I should blame guidance or Columbia at this point), but apparently, faxing it tomorrow is okay. Hopefully that works out :-/</p>

<p>I would love to be able to check the status of my reccomendations, but I haven't gotten a Columbia ID #. I submitted my ED App part II around oct 25th and the Financial on Nov 14th... How long did it take you guys to get your id?</p>

17

<p>I think the admissions office sends out Columbia ID numbers in batches. I remember awhile back a thread about the IDs, and on the same day, everybody got them. I submitted Part I of my app in early September and received my ID about a month after (that's how long the normal waiting period is supposed to be).</p>

<p>If you're worried, you could just call to get your ID and the status of your application.</p>
