How many days did it take you to get your Eli Account?

Susan9 · 10-31-2009, 03:37 AM

So, I submitted my application on October 27th, and my financial aid application on October 28th, but I still haven't received my account information. How many days does it generally take to get your account info? Should I call Yale and ask them about my application.

I submitted my online app Oct 29th, and FA 28th. But I have not received the confirmation email from Yale either. I am anxious too..

Anyone else out there who has not received their account info yet?

For people who did get their account information, how many days did it take you guys?

AO told me that normally it takes 1-2 weeks to get notified about the ID after submitting Commonapp and Yale supplement,

I haven't received my account yet, and I submitted my application before you did. I think that it'll be about a week, but right now due to the bulk of applications coming in it will undoubtedly be a bit longer.

I submitted mine on Oct. 28, and I know someone who submitted hers on Oct. 27, and neither of us have received the Eli account. Seriously, though, you have NO need to worry. A couple of weeks ago, it took roughly a week for students to receive their accounts. Ocer the past week, however, I'm sure that over 2,000 applications were submitted. That's quite a bit to process, right? Just hang in there.

Hmm. I see. I am going to call them on Nov. 5 and ask them about my application. The thing I am really worried about is that I mailed my stuff well before I submitted my online application. I hope they didn't misplace my mailed stuff. i am extremely worried about that. Did anyone mail there stuff before they actually submitted their online application?

Submitted 21 Oct, still nothing.

I sent in all my mailed stuff before the actual application. Like weeks before. Called AO and they said they start scanning stuff in as soon as they get it, so it should be no problem.

But I don't have my Eli account yet and I submitted on Oct 28

I think this is what we should do. As soon as you guys start getting your accounts, please come and inform the rest of us on this thread. Since all of us have submitted our apps around the same date, I think it will be really helpful.

I remember someone here on CC submitted on Oct 18 and got an account on Oct 26. So, that's a total of 6 business days. However, you submitted only a few days later and still haven't got your account, after a total of 7 business days (excluding the one in which you applied). So, that means they'd already started receiving a surge of applications around then. We're all going to be waiting for quite a while.
