Cornell slow to verify materials

I sent my app to Cornell ~2 weeks ago. They are still "Verifying materials for completion" according to the status checker. No check marks by anything except Application Fee. Anyone else experience this? Or should I contact them soon?

Are you a reapplicant? Apparently that slows down the process significantly.

Definitely. Do you think it is too early to call? Don't want to look impatient

I don't think so since the EA deadline for materials is technically tmrw right?

honestly, i'm calling tomorrow anyway; i don't want my EA status blown because of some fixable error.

I have been in contact with their office a number of times during the past week trying to make sure they got some particular materials, and they have been very agreeable and helpful.
