Would those getting calls post their submission dates/completion dates? :p Numbers aren't as interesting to me yet, but I would like to be calmed by knowing admissions are going along on a normal schedule haha.

Submitted in mid-October, don't recall exactly when I was complete but I think it was within a week.

That's weird, right? It's been nearly 3 calendar weeks.

Columbia did the same thing to me, and I found out today that they were waiting for a transcript from my semester abroad (which is an issue on its own, but I didn't know they were waiting for it and I'm taking steps to fix it). Schools like Harvard, NYU, and Berkeley are already processing my application, so on some level it must be complete.

I guess my question for this thread is: has anyone not received an "application complete" confirmation within two weeks of applying? And does anyone know if Stanford has special rules about secondary transcripts or something?
Stanford does require study abroad transcripts, even when LSAC doesn't. Check on their website's application requirements page for details about that. However, I got my status checker before they received my study abroad transcript, so I don't know that that's what is holding it up.
Thanks for the information. I emailed them today so at the very least I should get some explanation.

Congrats new admits!

Meanwhile, I have gotten my status checker. My status is UR 1/18, so it looks like they have been completing and reviewing all of our status check nevers files, but just not sending us the SC.

Just got an email with my status checker information.

They received my app 1/8/15, and it says I was submitted for review 1/17/15. Woooooo!

Adding on to this, I emailed the admissions people a few days after submitting about something unrelated and they told me that my file had already gone complete and was up for review. I still haven't received any sort of complete/status checker email but it seems like there's movement even without confirmation.

I'm 1/7/15 and 1/17/15. Guess we're application triplets. Good luck!

I'd definitely be willing to do it (knowledge of the school = hella good, thread-making abilities = not so good) but if bagel wants to, they definitely should.

Please, someone...someone who's not CC (I cannot tell you how awful a thread I created would look).

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
