Post-Application Postcard

<p>I know we EDers all get a postcard mid-November telling us if Penn has or doesnt have everything they need from us, but how long should we wait for them to send it before starting to worry?</p>

<p>I haven't yet gotten a postcard. I sent my application in oct 31 and I tracked it with UPS, supposedly it got in Nov 6. Now, I was called for an interview 2 weekends ago (nov 10), did my interview (obviously they got my application) on nov 18 and have yet to get the postcard. I guess they are quite busy over at college hall!</p>

<p>Thats really odd. I just my post app card a week after I sent it and I applied hours before the dealine. Are you applying ED?</p>

<p>i am and i think eloquence is also</p>

<p>if you tracked it with UPS, then i'm assuming you sent a paper application, and i think it takes them much longer to process the paper applications than the online apps. its no big deal though- dont worry about it.</p>

<p>hm... I also mailed mine in but I got my postcard about a week ago...</p>

<p>If nothing is missing, do we still get a postcard?</p>

<p>I only got a blue postcard.</p>

<p>I got that too pandu saying I'd get another one or an e-mail mid-November but so far, still nothing</p>

<p>yeah same here...</p>

<p>i havent gotten one yet either and i'm ED =(</p>

<p>Someone should call and ask what's up and then let us all know =D</p>

<p>i think it has to do with when you sent it in. since probably a lot of people submitted the apps online/mail either a day before/day of the deadline, they probably have just a lot to go through. no worries!</p>

<p>You guys haven't gotten your cards yet? They sent my blue card (receipt of part 1a) on October 15 and my green card (all components complete) on Nov 1.</p>

<p>Then again, I applied pretty early (like October 6).</p>

<p>I applied November 1 Lucas, maybe that's it then.. but if I get my card like a week before they send out decision it's just stressful and discouraging :(</p>

<p>I got mine in on the 31st and got my blue card about a week later, but im still waiting on the green card (wow that sounds so immigrant-ish)</p>

<p>What is the green card?</p>

<p>Green card is the card that tells you if they have all your application stuff or if you are missing some things.</p>

<p>i sent my paper application on oct 31 and just did my interview yesterday. however, i never got a blue/green card. well, i got an email about two weeks ago saying that my teachers' recs are not in and i need to fax them. Thats it and i am an ed-er as well, but i live in Canada. so whats the blue card you guys are talking about??</p>

<p>Eloquence: Give it another week, even if they already sent the card you would have to wait to get it due to Thankgiving mail delays.</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry about it too much, enjoy the holiday :D</p>
