Delay in Application Status?

<p>Is the application status constantly updated or is usually delayed? My app status says that Columbia hasn’t received my SAT scores and one of the teacher recs, but I know for sure that they’ve been sent.</p>

<p>Be patient. I work in the mailroom so I know firsthand that it takes time to sort these materials and scan them into the system. Give it a few days to a week. If the materials are still not listed then you can give the Admissions Office a call.</p>

<p>What does working in the mailroom have anything to do with the inner-workings of the admissions office? The SAT scores are received from ETS in electronic form, so there is nothing to “scan in.”</p>

<p>The application status website updates once a day.</p>

<p>Hmm… I requested my SAT scores be sent on Sep. 6, so Columbia should definitely have it by now.</p>

<p>Columbia2002, I’m sorry if I wasn’t clearer, the mailroom reference was supposed to apply to the teacher rec that was unaccounted for, not the missing SAT scores.</p>
