\nWouldn\u2019t it be great if you could check the status of your application online?\u00a0 Oh wait\u2026you can!<\/p>\n

Echoing the sentiments of my colleagues below, I too am consumed with \u201creading season.\u201d\u00a0 While we\u2019re shut away in our offices pouring over letters of recommendation, transcripts and personal essays, we are also aware that you are anxious about your application and what\u2019s happening to it.\u00a0 Over the past few weeks, a lot of you have been calling in to make sure that all of your materials have been received. We\u2019ve heard your concerns, and with the help of our lovely friends in IT, we are happy to introduce a new online system that will allow you to view your application materials checklist online!<\/p>\n

Before I get to those instructions, I want to briefly tell you what happens to your application in between the time you hit submit on your computer and we receive your folder on our desk. There are actually more steps involved than one would think and our clerical staff work hard to make sure that every piece of information that you submit is recorded in our records. Here\u2019s a glimpse of what they do \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d\u2026.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You happily (nervously?) submit your application online or put that big envelope in the mail to us (either way is fine!).<\/li>\n
  2. We receive your application. If you submitted it online, it goes into our queue to be downloaded.<\/li>\n
  3. Once downloaded, we send this batch off to be printed. (This time of year, we are receiving hundreds of applications daily, so the process of downloading the applications and printing them out can take a several days. Please <\/em>be patient.)<\/li>\n
  4. Once the application and any attachments (essays, recommendations, etc) have been printed, a folder is made for your application.<\/li>\n
  5. The folder is then given to one the members of our operations team, and they have the task of entering your application into our system. They will assign you an identification number and create a checklist for you in our system.<\/li>\n
  6. We then go through all of our materials to make sure that any information that has been received separately for you (interview write-ups, recommendations, e-mail correspondence that we\u2019ve printed out, etc) is put into your folder.<\/li>\n
  7. That information than needs to be recorded in our system.<\/li>\n
  8. Your file will then live in the drawers and this process of matching and entering will continue until we have all <\/em>of the pieces of your application.<\/li>\n
  9. When your file is complete, a member of the counselor staff will snatch it up and happily add it to their \u201cto be read\u201d pile that teeters on the edge of each and every desk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s quite a process. Why am I telling you all of this?<\/p>\n

    Because if you check the status of your materials online and see that we have not received an important piece of your application \u2013 do not panic<\/em>. Do not call the office; we won\u2019t have any more information than you have. IF a piece is not listed as received, it probably means that whatever you submitted is being processed. Please check again after a few days and hopefully it will appear.<\/p>\n

    It can take anywhere from 3 \u2013 10\u00a0 business days for this miraculous process to be complete (remember \u2013 hundreds of applications are processed every day). So, please be patient and we\u2019ll do our best to keep things moving along.<\/p>\n

    And now\u2026the Web site link!
    \nTo check the status of your application materials, please go to the following link:

    \nYou\u2019ll be asked to either login or register. First time users, please register with our system, and put your login name and password in a safe place!<\/p>\n

    *Note \u2013 this Web site will not provide an update on your acceptance status.\u00a0 It is merely for application materials.\u00a0\u00a0 All decisions made for those applying in our regular decision pool will be mailed out at the end of March.<\/p>\n

    Thank you and we look forward to reviewing your application!<\/p>\n
