Teacher rec still not proccessed...time to worry?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>I applied EA and my teacher Evaluation A still says "Not Processed" even though my teacher is certain that he mailed it in a while back. I know that a blog post from two weeks ago said not to call admissions until thy say they're done with everything, but maybe it's time to take action? </p>

<p>How should I get to the bottom of this? Call/email admissions? Have my teacher fax the rec in?</p>

<p>They’ve said that it generally takes about 2 weeks to process incoming materials.</p>

3

<p>^ At this point, it’s taking longer than two weeks. Remember that they’re processing thousands of pieces of mail here :)</p>

4

<p>Is it common for one rec to be processed while the other isn’t?</p>

5

<p>Yes it is garfieldliker. </p>

<p>Please be patient and understand, as piper said, that we are dealing with tens of thousands of mail and faxes and we will not consider your application until we have sufficient information to consider it.</p>

<p>Ok but I guess I just wanted to know, is there anything that I should be doing at this point other than waiting?</p>

<p>^ You know those fun extracurricular things you do? Go do those :)</p>

<p>I’m having a similar problem. My ACT scores and transcript haven’t updated? I get that you’re busy(with a school that awesome, I’d expect a lot of applications), so when is the correct time to worry?</p>

<p>The blog post is up and email is out, so anything you’re missing you should take steps to get in.</p>

<p>Don’t panic :slight_smile: This just means you should ask your school tomorrow to fax in your transcript. I’m not sure about the ACT scores, but maybe call the office tomorrow to see if those would’ve arrived by now? (When did you take them?)</p>

<p>Is there a way to check if supplemental letters have been received?</p>

<p>I sent the scores on the 28th and I sent the transcript the same day.</p>
