| Recommendations and School Report missing :S
So I just checked today, and my Eli account says that my teacher recommendations and myu school report have not been rweceived by Yale. I submitted them on the 25th of October. Should I call them?
Is there anyone else facing a similar situation? :S

They have an X beside them and it says "Not received". I am really worried.

One of my D's teacher recommendations was checked not received by Yale, and I know that one teacher sent around 10/28 or 10/29. I would just wait for a few days. If the information are still missing after this week, then email/call Yale admission.

How is waiting going to help?
Why would Yale still not have processed something and then scare an applicant by putting "Not received" next to it? The least they could do is say "Not processed", if there was a chance they might have received something but have not been able to process it yet.
Anyway, Susan9, I would recommend just emailing your teachers and counselor telling them to fax copies to the File Room (203-777-6120) with your application number and name on top. This is what I have done.

When you're processing thousands of applications, stuff gets lost. Feed is right (I'm assuming s/he contacted Admissions to see how they wanted missing materials re-sent.) Yale wants to review your application, and they're alerting you to the problem so you can resolve it. They're not sitting around looking for ways to throw applications into the reject pile unread.

I have a similar question, if only one teacher recommendation is marked as "not received" how do we know which teacher it is? Does it have any correspondence to the "teacher evaluation 1" and "teacher evaluation 2" forms from the common app (as in is the first spot for evaluation 1, and the next for evaluation 2)?

You can either fax or send by mail. I personally think faxing to their File Room would be more efficient (they have hinted at this on the Yale College website). Quote: |

You would obviously want to contact them directly via email about it. Or, you could just resend both your teacher recs to be on the safe side. Although I'm not sure how keen they are on receiving items more than once.

Hey Susan, if this makes you feel any better, both my teachers' recommendations and school report are marked missing as well  According to the guidance office at my school, they sent everything out Oct 20th, so I don't even see any reason for Yale to not have received the forms unless they were lost in the mail.

Melody, I think calling would be your best bet. Admissions officers are very, very slow to respond to emails.

xrCalico23, I think we should call asap, the worse thing would be to get deferred because they did not get our mailed stuff on time | |

^ Notice that you can fax them stuff that's missing. Try calling them tomorrow to ask if it's possible that they still haven't processed some stuff, and if they say no, then fax your forms. They'll receive everything instantly.  | |

Eli account shows that School Report is missing, which was sent on Sept. 30 by school counseling office. My D. will ask school counseling office to fax those to Yale tomorrow. Will it affect early action application ? Any other things can she do ? Should she or high school counseling office explain this to Yale admission office ?

Thanks for the advice Feed and rockermcr I'll call them first thing tomorrow.
And good luck Susan and Calico, I'm sure your school forms will turn up soon!
@nanjing,
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it should affect decisions. First off, it's not your daughter's fault, and second, this is the first day that the eli accounts show the status of the school forms, so as long as you fax them in asap, it should be no problem
