Stanford :/

<p>Stanford just sent me an e-mail stating they are missing my high school stuff and are giving me 5 days to complete my application before they consider it withdrawn.</p>

<p>Arggggggggggh</p>

<p>Did you send it initially? If they lost it thats pretty arsehole like :o</p>

<p>Hey martini, yeah I just got the same letter, only regarding a different part of the application.</p>

<p>They did the same exact thing to me last year as well -- and then after I called, the senile old lady on the phone goes "ooops, here it is, we've got it."</p>

<p>I have had a name change and I guess that is why they are missing... I put my previous name on the application but I guess a discrepancy has occurred regardless. It'll be hard getting all that stuff from overseas until monday. I am prepared to fly if I have too.</p>

<p>Here I am unsettled again.</p>

<p>Cornell still can't locate my SAT scores but at least they consider my application complete.</p>

<p>I don't even want to think about Yale and MIT...
Everything is probably way messed up.</p>

<p>I had the same problem with Harvard and it took them less than 24 hours to resolve things after I sent them an e-mail.</p>

<p>Why not just call and see if it can be rectified over the phone? They probably have the form with your old name on it, and don't know it's you. So, just, tell them it's you.</p>

<p>Speaking of Stanford, anyone know what the Credentials Office is? When I told admissions of my recent employment at Stanford, I got a reply saying my employee info was forwarded to that office.</p>

<p>I will...
I called some schools today to change my address and they wanted me to e-mail my new address instead...
It took schools months to answer my e-mails before. </p>

<p>What a mess. Yale's postcard could be somewhere else right now...</p>

<p>Hold on, there might be some mistake with the application processing.
Stanford just sent an email saying my high school transcript, deans reference form, two faculty reference forms are missing.</p>

<p>How likely is it that all FOUR items were somehow mysteriously lost in the mail? I am definitely ringing them first thing tomorrow morning to figure this out.</p>

<p>Oh yeah. I'm skipping classes tomorrow and calling all schools.</p>

<p>Just got an e-mail as well. Missing Courses in Progress, which I will be sending out tomorrow.</p>

<p>It also says fax. I could fax this?</p>

<p>You HAVE to fax it.</p>

<p>Guys.
Do you remember sending those documents?
I mean, it seems even more unlikely that we are ALL missing some form...
Grr I was about to start a paper for Lit but now I am unsettled.</p>

<p>Interesting, the assigned ID in the Stanford e-mail is the same as my Stanford employee ID. I guess they accepted my info. I never sent my CiP; actually, I got it signed only today.</p>

<p>Also, are you SURE it MUST be faxed? The issue is I wrote my contact info in pencil, and am afraid that erasing it will mess the thing up.</p>

<p>Exactly .</p>

<p>^
9 chars. take that CC.</p>

<p>Also, protip: don't use the fax number that's referenced on your forms. Fax the forms to the number specified in your e-mail. I almost made that mistake.</p>

<p>Also, my winter grades were recently posted as in a few days ago. Can I just hand my transcript to the admissions office since I'll be around that area anyways?</p>

<p>Hey, I just got that email from Stanford as well about missing High School records, and about a week ago I got a similiar email from Harvard concering the same document. I already went back to my HS to fax to Harvard and if possible, I'd like to save myself another trip. I see previous posts about "calling the school"..what exactly does that solve, and what do you say?</p>

<p>Well by calling the school you make sure that they truly ARE missing (and not just a result of some mistype in input or something). Last year I had couple of troubles regarding missing forms but when I called them all of them ended up with "Oh we do have those forms... don't worry we have everything now."</p>

<p>Oooh cool, also this may seem like a paranoid question, but does this affect my chances? like in the interim period of waiting for my materials, they already fill all the slots?</p>

<p>I doubt your chances are affected.</p>
