<p>I missing one of my teacher recs, my application fee (for some reason), and "additional materials"</p>
<p>The only thing I'm missing now is 1 teacher rec.
Ughh.
This is so frustrating because my friend that applied to MIT Early Action also got a rec from the same teacher and he said that MIT already received the rec.
I'm sure my teacher turned in mine at the same time or earlier than he did for the letter for my MIT friend.</p>
<p>Is Penn just slow in comparison to MIT in processing?!
D:</p>
<p>yup im havint the same problem
im missing my teacher recs, counselor rec, and secondary school report but they have my transcript</p>
<p>honestly though you guys shouldnt stress. if they're missing something, they will contact you and you can just send it in later and explain your situation. So no worries.</p>
<p>Yes, Same with me.
Don't worry.
I contacted the admissions office and they said they're swamped with processing.
Though, I'm curious as to whether they have an incredible amount of people doing ED this year, or there's just a lot of paper work and stress because of the transition to a new Dean of Admissions, the old provost leaving ,etc.</p>
<p>i hope that ur first speculation is not right..."though, i'm curious as to whether they have an incredible amount of people doing ED this year"...shudders</p>
<p>they're missing everything from my guidance department :(</p>
<p>I suspect that as the only Ivy that ended up with slightly higher admissions rate in 07/08 than in 06/07, Penn is probably gonna experience a sizeable increase in applicants this year...let's just hope that increase is not manifested too much in ED.</p>
<p>i'm missing my ssr, teacher recommendations. and on my penn portal they received my counselor recommendation, but they filed it under teacher recommendations!
(both of my teacher recommendations are online...)</p>
<p>i just emailed them about it, should i call them? or wait a week or two to see if they change it? (dec 15th is getting close! eek)</p>
<p>to HolyPegasus' point, thus far for early admit statistics:</p>
<p>Dartmouth ED up 12.5%
Duke ED up 25%
MIT EA up 25%
Northwestern ED up 15%
Yale up 10% (so far in the count)
Middlebury ED up 12%</p>
<p>BUT</p>
<p>Brown ED down 4.5%</p>
<p>this thread is keeping track of early numbers:

<p>i did everything online except my guidance forms transcript and act scores..it says i'm missing my teacher recs and everything else besides my transcript (which just showed up today) and yeah i sent them an e-mail and they said not to resend anything unless they contact you</p>
<p>Am missing a large amount of stuff from guidance office (secondary school report, Counselor Recommendation, mid-year report, and additional information)</p>
<p>what do they mean additional information (2)???? what two additional do they need? anybody know?</p>
<p>My one rec is still on outstanding application material list. It was sent out a month ago. Does anyone have the same situation? What I can do right now? Any suggestion?</p>
<p>I'm in the exact same situation as you gz9933.
I think I'm just going to wait...since they said that if things are missing they would call us.</p>
<p>yea idk what's going on, but my counselor says she sent her rec in with my transcript, and they've gotten my transcript but not the rec. weird.</p>
<p>^
Same Pink.
In fact, It says I have 3 transcripts, but no counselor rec.</p>
<p>Oh, and my second teacher rec finally showed up day ^^</p>
<p>I wander anybody received a mail which told you what is missing? I called admission office yesterday. Their recoding message said they will send out a notice in the middle of November. If I haven't received it so far, can I think they have got anything. Just waiting to scan them to their system?</p>
<p>Yeah I heard they were going to send notices too, some like blue versus green card?
Green meaning they have everything from you?
I think...</p>
<p>But yeah, I haven't gotten a notice, and my 1 teacher rec hasn't been received for a month and it's really bothering me becuase I know he sent it in. Haha</p>
<p>Everything was updated yesterday except for 1 teacher rec. Today I checked and it indicated that it was updated. However when I clicked on the Teacher Rec button, both of the recs showed the same teacher's name. Is this a mistake?</p>
<p>^Same problem here...don't think we need to worry about it.</p>
<p>Portal says only 1 of my rec's was received...
Still missing: Transcript, 1 teacher rec, counselor rec
But I'm not gonna worry, all that stuff was in the same envelope</p>
