Most correct, Anna Molly! No need to be concerned. To help contextualize why TAMS won’t instantaneously reflecting if we’ve received your parcels, imagine what a stack of 15 thousand envelopes all containing transcripts looks like. Then imagine what a stack of 30 thousand envelopes all containing recommendations looks like. Now think of time it takes to open all those envelopes and remove their contents - and that just opening the envelopes! Then we have to sort those stacks, put everything in the right folder, and only then do we enter that we have your stuff in TAMS. Since most of that mail comes all at once, that process takes time, and you’ll need to wait a little before you can trust what TAMS says.</p>

<p>That crunch ends up affecting online submissions, too. As you can imagine, we receive a huge number of online submissions at the same time as well, and it takes time to download them from their server into our system. TAMS doesn’t update until we’ve downloaded your supplement. Depending on where you are in the queue, that can take a couple of days.
