<p>While checking my application status on MYCUBOULDER, which still says as always "application received, processing file", I explorered further and found under a "To Do" heading, the status of my transcript. It says only "Initiated". My school sent it November 19th. Do they have it or not?</p>
<p>Call them up and ask the Admissions Office to make sure…</p>
<p>I will call first thing Monday. Assume they will still be staffed over break. According to my HS, which is in Colorado btw, it was mailed out before Thanksgiving. I’m an automatic in-state admission, but I decided to try for a for a spot in aerospace which is why I applied EA.</p>
<p>Puck,
My S had everything submitted and marked received for months and the day before the EA deadline, when he was actually looking for an acceptance…he got the same message! NOWHERE did it say anything ANYWHERE about what “initiated” meant. Apparently several frantic calls and emails later-it seems when they pulled his file to actually “review” they deemed his transcript “unofficial” Good news we WERE able to email it to make the deadline (he was accepted like 9 days later) Bad news no one ever could figure out how the transcripts, marked official, with all the proper stamps and seals, that were cool at 13 other schools…and posed an 11th-hour issue at UCB!!!</p>
<p>Searched further on the MYCUBoulder pages and found explanations for the status messages, including “initiated”. I had checked my app status using the link on the left side of the page, but there is an alternate way through the “Apply” tab. I feel better, but I’m still giving the Admissions Office a call Monday.</p>
<p>I have been assured that my application is complete and was received Nov 30th. So probably January for the decision.</p>
<p>My son is a freshman in the aerospace engineering program. Good luck PuckPasser!</p>
