<p>Today, I checked exter lion links, which shows that the school report has not been received. I assumed application has been completed since I didn't receive any e-mail from Exeter. If application is complete, does exeter send a note on status like Andover? </p>
<p>I am very worried and don't know what to do. Is there any hope?</p>
<p>I believe that if an applicant didn’t have a piece of their application in, you would be notified. However, I could be wrong. So, if it were me, I would ask at school tomorrow if it was sent out, and when. Explain EXCEPTIONALLY NICELY AND POLITELY–You may need their help–your situation to your advisor or the admin person who handles these things and volunteer to cover overnight fees (unless they can fax) if necessary. Then I would as calmly as possible contact the person who interviewed you and say something like, this is John Doe. I realize this is an extremely busy time for you, but I was checking through the lion links last night and noticed that my status was listed as incomplete. Can you please verify that all parts of my application have been received? I have already spoken to my school, and they assured me that my school report was sent out on such and such date; but if it hasn’t been received, may I have the school overnight or fax it to you?"
Good luck–and chances are, they just didn’t update the site but better to be safe than sorry!!</p>
<p>Not sure about that school but all the schools my son applied to sent a confirmation that it was received. You may want to double check with them.</p>
<p>We did not receive a confirmation about “application complete” from PEA. LionLink is not up to date. (our PFS still not shown up). By now, they should have already read your application and should have contacted you for the missing information. You can call PEA to double check it.</p>
<p>I very much appreciate your valuable comments.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
<p>Most admission decisions should’ve been made by now, so if they are not asking anything from you now, it may mean they don’t need anything more for a decision. If you are following Jane Fried’s twitter, you can get an idea on where they decision making process is at different time points.</p>

Today @phillipsacademy, we begin the most important phase of the admission process, analyzing decisions and shaping the class.

<p>In final admission committee meetings @phillipsacademy. I am inspired by the faculty’s care and attention with each student’s file.

<p>Same thing happened to us a couple of years ago with PEA and the other schools our child applied to; the school report hadn’t been sent by the then current school. It was really close to the deadlines when we found out. We had somewhat expected schools would reach out if forms were missing, but they didn’t. We called all the schools we had applied to, and the AO’s were really understanding about delays/difficulties getting the school report. Seemed this wasn’t that unusual, and were prepared to entertain the school report arriving late, since obviously it wasn’t in our control.
We basically marched into the registrar’s office and hovered while this person faxed the school report to several schools.</p>
<p>OMG @Alexwoofour - we had to do the same thing - the day before the deadline. My husband marched into D’s school armed with Fedex envelopes and sat in the office and said he wasn’t moving until all the paperwork was stuffed inside every one of them. The school district did everything to derail our D’s application (she was one of only a handful in a struggling district who tested advanced on the State Exam). The boarding schools told us we weren’t the only parents struggling to wrestle paperwork out of the hands of recalcitrant schools that don’t want to lose gifted students. One local private school relies on those students to hold up their “prestigious” college matriculation stats. Our public school is using them to prop up their NCLB stats.</p>
<p>What we have to do as parents - good grief! (and Kudos for marching in and getting the paperwork!)</p>
