<p>My penn portal says "tracking for required materials will be available shortly"</p>
<p>how long will it stay like this? because it has been like this for a good week and a half now</p>
<p>Last year, it was may be a week after November 1 deadline when the tracking comes alive. Even then, many of the materials like teachers recs were not posted until later. If you sent in everything, it is out of your hand. It is a little anxious not knowing for sure that all your materials got in. They will contact you if they need something, they understand that sometimes things get lost.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks! so if I am missing something because it got lost in the mail, then they will contact me, and i send it in??? theres no major reprocussions?</p>
<p>No, you should be ok. Your common app and fee got to be in on time though.</p>
