Should I call MIT for a possibly lost SSR ?

<p>Some clarifications:</p>

<p>I am an international student.</p>

<p>All the evaluations, as well as the SSR, have been sent in a single package. Yet, my MyMIT account only shows that the evaluations have been processed, not the secondary school report. Could it be lost in the realms of unscanned papers?</p>

<p>I'm thinking about calling MIT to ask them if I should resend it or wait till January 26th, but I don't want to bother them. Still, I am worried about this, as recompiling the file will require my head teacher and I to revalidate the school's profile, to officialize my transcripts, to reprint the translations and whatnot, and I*don't want to bother him again with this.</p>

<p>Chill. I know it’s hard, but chances are, it’s there. It just didn’t get scanned yet. It will get scanned. If it doesn’t until the 26th, you could shoot them an email.</p>

It’s likely that it is safe and sound at MIT – the administrative staff open envelopes and separate documents by type, so it’s not unusual to send documents in a single envelope and have them be processed at different times.</p>

<p>There is no need to worry about missing documents at this time. When MIT is done processing all the mail, they will post a blog entry. At that point, if your report is still missing, you will be given the opportunity to re-send it via fax.</p>

<p>It is highly likely that your SSR is at MIT, waiting to be processed.</p>

<p>You’re fine. It happened to me. My SSR was processed a month after the processing of Evaluations A and B (they went in the same package). Maybe because the transcripts are international and have more attachments (translations)… Anyway, chilax ;)</p>

<p>^Nope. Translations have nothing to do with it. Evaluation B (which was translated) was processed first. Then Eval. A and the SSR (both of which were originally in English and therefore had no translations attached) were processed 4 days later. It’s pretty random as far as I can tell. But if they were in the same package, MIT has them. They’ll be processed in a few days as long as they don’t get lost in the huge packets of mail they have over there :smiley: (Doubt that’d happen.)</p>

<p>Well, I doubt that would happen as well, I clipped everything.</p>

<p>Thank you for hearing that this is normal. You’ll hear back from me when the decisions are released!</p>

<p>Seven weeks ago sent in. SSR and Recommendation B still not processed. Weird.</p>

<p>The Admissions office is still processing buckets of mail. If it isn’t processed by the end of January, give them a call, but otherwise, it is probably still in the midst of all other papers.</p>
