The "OH GOD PART xyz HASN'T ARRIVED YET AND I'M SCARED!" thread

<p>Keep in mind: only 49 states were represented last year... that means that one state sent no qualified applicants. :P</p>

<p>Yeah like...west virginia or something maybe iowa ;) Hahaha kidding kidding kidding...any guesses?</p>

<p>Massachusetts or New Jersey, perhaps.</p>

<p>:-|</p>

<p>CzarDerivative: I'm in the exact same boat as you...aargh. <em>refreshes page again</em> still not processed! lol. maybe its a california thing..i live in orange county....they dont like us westcoast people haha</p>

<p>Another Californian who hasn't gotten everything processed. Well, I reminded my teacher about 5 times this morning to fax the evaluation in, so I MIT should have gotten my stuff.</p>

<p>I'm from Norcal. I bet the post office just looses more mail on the way from here to there. I got my teacher rec B faxed today, so it's all good.</p>

<p>Less than a month and those decisions are coming on in!! Ooh that tension is building!</p>

<p>i'm not checking back here till december 14 haha</p>

<p>woohoo!!!</p>

<p>School report got processed! :-)
Finally.
I guess this means its time to start keeping an eye on the mailbox...</p>

<p>-Oren</p>

<p>hmm i should go check to see if my teacher rec got processed..</p>

<p>So it's November 29; applications should be moving inot selection committee in the next few days. At this point, my Teacher A evaluation has not been processed yet (going to call tomorrow). Anyone who faxed in their stuff just a week ago, are your things processed yet? This IS the time to be scared, at least I think so.</p>

<p>I agree, this IS the time to panic!</p>

<p>You can fax your stuff in, but won't it still undergo delays? Since they must be getting thousands of applications and forms in from RD applicants, I would assume they'll process it in about 3-5 days from sending date (December 2-5). Then they have to read it, along with your whole application, and provide a summary--at least another 3-5 days, assuming its placed in the large queue (December 5-10). Then it has to be assigned to the various discussion groups--it's really getting close. </p>

<p>I'd call MIT and ask if you could fax it and have someone waiting on the other end to sort the forms appropriately. I wonder how they handle situations like these. Do they move it to RD, or do they just mail your decision late December?</p>

<p>I'm so dumb. I forgot to mention that my teacher faxed it in on the 22nd.</p>

<p>That would help! So they must <em>have</em> it, it's just amidst stacks of EA and RD forms in queue to get filed into their respective folders. In that case, definitely call them. Anyone else with a simillar pridicament?</p>

<p>My teacher sent out my rec letter on Oct 28th, and they never got it. So I asked her to fax it last Tuesday. I called yesterday, and they said they still don't have it. So I asked her to fax it again today. I hate this; what is wrong with MIT. I really cannot ask my teacher to send it again.</p>

<p>my teacher sent out mine on nov. 14 and they still haven't processed it.</p>

<p>They processed my Rec B today. Happy.</p>

<p>njchino, I'm in the EXACT same situation. I called and they didn't have the faxed one either today. I have the WORST time ever. I managed to get the direct fax line of one of the admissions receptionists, so I asked my teacher to fax the rec again (this was 4:10 EST). I asked him to call me right after he faxed it. He forgets to call me and I run up to the library where he was at 4:55 EST to ask if he sent it. He said he did, and that he forgot to call me. I call right away, after 20-30 rings and the constant "all our receptionists are busy", I hung up thinking something was wrong. Now it was 4:58 EST. When I call, I got the "MIT's admissions office is closed, these are the office hours...." I have the worst timing (living on the west coast isn't helping).</p>

<p>Yah - Vu. About that PM. I faxed it once, around 5 PM eastern on the Monday b4 thanksgiving, and they processed it today.</p>

<p>How do you know they didn't get it?</p>
