I've yet to have any of my credentials checked off, even though I know they should have all arrived by now. I'm going to give them a call this afternoon if nothing changes.

I called yesterday and they were actually still missing two pieces from me. One I was mildly surprised about, but the other shocked me. (Sorry for all the vagueness here, but I don't want to publicly call out people). I called the entity who was responsible for sending one of them which should have gone out about two weeks ago, and they were particularly wishy-washy about when exactly it was mailed and the process for once it leaves their office to actually entering the USPS stream, yadda yadda yadda. So, at this rate, I'm going to have no chance of getting in by time my file's complete because they will have accepted everyone.

Sorry dude. That really sucks. I paid a lot of money for my shit to be overnighted with a tracking code so that bullshit doesn't happen. I have no idea how people suck so much in these admin offices. Maybe if you get the important shit in NYU will consider you.

To others who are ur3, are all your boxes checked off ? One of mine isn't, but it should be there because it came in with another item that is checked off.

all of mine are checked off.. that really does suck. you have to be on top of admissions. I called every day until they had my stuff. I even knew what time NYU was receiving mail because I would call before and after.

Where are the forms that are required? Like the dean's certification and the college questionnaire?

lsac app under forms

I called NYU. They haven't received my UG transcript or my UG dean's certification. I called Columbia and they received everything. I called Harvard and they received everything.

Ha. What bad luck. Something's up with NYU's mail system! Lulz

Edit: THE SAGA CONTINUES

I just got a phone call from NYU saying that they just received my UG transcript.

My transcript was sent last Tuesday (6/17); the Dean's Certification was sent last Thursday (6/19). Fingers crossed it shows up!

Whole new meaning to Battle of the Forms.

I'm complete at Columbia and HLS. Several other schools (including NYU) have not processed forms that were sent to them over one month ago.

I share your despair.

Haha. What.

Now my status checker has everything crossed off but the College Questionnaire. Harvard just needs to accept me soon so I can stop worrying, HAHA.

I'm now everything but undergrad transcript. I know for a fact it's on the way. I have a certified copy in PDF form on my computer. Think I should ask if they will accept that with the promise that the mailed one from the school is coming?

I don't know. I just emailed my UG's Dean so they can resend my Dean's Certification. In the email I also asked them to fax it before mailing it. The Dean's Cert I had sent last week could show up tomorrow or Monday. And I ordered another transcript before NYU called me. NYU's going to get a lot of duplicate stuff from me. Haha

The only record that matters is that shiny 3.95 GPA on my law school transcript--Don't know why they gotta be drama queens.

Monday, boys.

[Nebby]

My UG just emailed me to tell me that they faxed and re-mailed my UG Dean's Cert. And it was just now checked off of my status checker. Finally. Thank god I called.

[zoomzoom88]

why do you not think decisions will come out tomorrow?

[toothbrush]

i say monday for harvard.

tomorrow/monday for NYU.

Maybe not tomorrow because last year there was a break between UR3 and DLS.

So far this year we're the same (Ur1 -- break -- UR2 -> UR3 (back to back))... if this year were to follow last year then there would be another 1-2day break between UR3 -> DLS.
