the university still didnt receive one of my rec letters!!

<p>on my penn portal, it still says that they receieved only one of my rec letters.... and the one that they didnt receive is the one that was sent earlier than the received one :( what can i do? does this mean that they dont even want to care bout my rec letter because they already decided not to let me in...?</p>

<p>that's a little weird this late in the game, especially since one of my recs that hasn't been in the portal for quite some time now just popped on the screen a few days ago.</p>

<p>But either way, don't read too much into it. I am sure that they have all your information but it's just not posted online, and if you haven't already, I would encourage you to give them a call.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>I strongly recommend you to call them!! the transcript of one of my friends was simply lost. so she had to send it again.</p>

<p>Did you send it online via common app or by mail? If they haven't contacted you and your counselor didn't tell you anything, then I think everything's fine.</p>

<p>My 2 teacher's rec on Penn Portal is still messed up but I seriously gave up worrying about it.</p>

<p>Yea I'm missing a rec and an additional rec. I think they gave up on updating the Portal. I'm sure they are almost done with apps about now so they probably would have contacted you through email or something if something was missing. I don't know about the extra stuff though...I'm not worrying about that.</p>

<p>OMG, on my PennPortal it says they received the second of my two teacher recs last Saturday...is this a mistake or should I be genuinely concerned about this???!!!!</p>

<p>nj_azn, so they did receive it...what do you need to be concerned about? o.O</p>

<p>yeah on my portal it said they received two counselor recommendations even though I only sent one over a month ago , and it said they received it on Friday. That's kind of strange but I guess it's nothing to fret over?</p>

<p>soysauce, I'm saying that because the also received my loose rec over the weekend, but that one said November 16th under date received whereas the second teacher rec said December 6 (which, I'm guessing, is well beyond the period in which they made decisions).</p>

<p>nj, not necessarily. When did you send the second rec? If you were missing something, they would have informed you. I'm guessing that they had your rec and just didn't update it. If you sent it around the same time as the first rec, then they received around the same time. Portal is really not trustworthy...</p>

<p>deeboggle - i sent it online... well my teacher sent it online. did this happen to u too? i just sent an email to penn regarding this... hmm hopefully i can hear something from them soon!</p>

<p>i honestly wouldn't worry.
my penn portal says i'm still missing my guidance rec and my fee waiver request.
my guidance rec was mailed in the same envelope as my ssr form, so i know they have it.
and i sent in my fee waiver request in mid-october.
buuuut penn portal still says zilch.
i called penn yesterday, and they said they had everything.
call if you're really worried. but i doubt its going to be a problem.</p>

<p>kerorii,</p>

<p>My teachers sent everything online. However, on common app for school forms it is still a yellow box. (weird b/c for my other schools the box is green even though i didn't even send my app) My portal basically says i have two recs from the same teacher. So basically i don't know if Penn has the other one.</p>

<p>I will assume they do. So you just emailed the school or have you contacted the adm before? w/e like what everyone else said, i think everything should be fine.</p>

<p>don't worry. call them.</p>
