What now?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>So, I have submitted my Common Application successfully on December 31st, and received an e-mail confirmation telling me that my application had been received and downloaded by Stanford.</p>

<p>Since then (Jan 1st), however, I haven't received any other e-mail about my application status or any address where I could track my documents to see if everything's fine.</p>

<p>My question is: should I expect to hear from them? All universities to which I have applied but Stanford contacted me back to inform about dates and timelines, so that's why I'm inquiring you such doubt.</p>

<p>I greatly appreciate any kind of heads up.</p>

<p>Thank you for your attention!</p>

<p>Wait until the second/third week of February. I read somewhere on the Stanford website that they’ll have sent official confirmation emails by then.</p>

<p>Find their Axess login page, click Applicants under Guest. Enter your email, and you will receive an email summarizing your application status.</p>

<p>^ I tried to follow your instruction, but when I enter my e-mail adress at the Axess page, I get the following message:</p>

<p>Email Address Not Found (21000,222) </p>

<p>Please contact our office to verify your email address. You may either send an email to <a href=“mailto:credentials@stanford.edu”>credentials@stanford.edu</a> or call 650-723-2091</p>

<p>Wait another 5 days or so. They are processing a deluge of applications.</p>

<p>Right, thank you for your insights.</p>

<p>Hmm, I submitted mine pretty last minute. Axess has been working fine for me though. Then again, I come pretty early in alphabetical order, and there’s a bunch of other reasons you might not be processed.</p>

<p>Check if you’re using the email you put in the Common App. Maybe you’re making a typo or made one way back then.</p>

<p>I also got an “Important” email from Stanford about a week ago which basically stated all communication would be via email. It also had a “must click” link.</p>

<p>I’ve checked my registered e-mail on CommonApp and it is alright. Maybe the fact that I’m international will slow things down a little bit?</p>

9

<p>Not necessarily. applications are processed simultaneously. just give it time. :)</p>

<p>I think if the common app says it was downloaded, then you should cut the poor admissions people some slack. Besides, I got an email saying I was missing a credential, but when I called, they had it in the office. Moral of the story: they’re swamped, and their computer system is swamped too.</p>

<p>^^^^^^
This</p>

12

<p>Right, I’ll keep on waiting :wink: Thank you, guys.</p>

13

<p>aww thanks kimmy!</p>

14

<p>Still nothing. Am I the only one who has not received e-mails from Stanford?</p>

15

<p>I haven’t received any e-mails too :(</p>

16

<p>I would contact the admissions office at this point. I submitted my application January 1 as well, but got the confirmation email about two weeks ago. They’ve already processed all my materials, and I’d be last if they did it alphabetically.</p>

17

<p>Got the email yesterday :)</p>

<p>I called them and received it today. Thank you, smile99!</p>
