don't worry, u'll get it. If common app shows ur app and supplement to be downloaded then u should get ur ELI account. i heard that normally it takes 1-2 weeks. i know a guy who got his account after 10days. But u should contact AO and ask. i got mine after 3 days i submitted on the 29th and got mine on nov 2nd
I submitted my common app and supplement online on the 31st and sent my package (which contains my school forms, fin aid forms, etc.) by mail on the 29th (they say it'd take the package about 2 weeks to arrive at the AO's P.O Box).
hmm I wonder when I should receive my Eli acc, or should I contact them somehow? They must be really busy sorting out applications at this moment...
iamhopeful, ok umm if u sent everything by mail then u might have to wait a bit cause it's gonna take some time before they process ur application forms and supplements. This is why yale strongly suggests applicants to do the online app hehe
tplinh91 if u sent ur school forms via mail then u sent ur application forms and supplements online right? if that so, see if common app shows those to be downloaded. if they r then u should be getting ur ELI account soon. I sent my school forms via mail too... you don't have to contact them. They'll give u the ELI account when they've started to process ur file
my common app was submitted online on 10/24, my recs were sent by mail two weeks prior. i got my eli account on Monday 11/2. so it did take about 10 days for me.
hehe no prob. we're in the same boat hehe although i got my ELI account i'm still waiting for them to contact me for an interview. I sure hope i'll get it
good luck everyone hehe
