Hmm, I think I'll just see whether they ask for it - they should definitely have my official scores by now, since the other schools seem to have them!

That is pretty confusing, I'm sure it's not a big deal though since there's no reason to report your 'unofficial' scores twice.

I submitted my application to Columbia on Nov 30, and got an email on Dec 5 directing me to that website. So check your spam folder if you haven't received an email.

Update: I just got a letter with my UID from NYU, my application was submitted on Dec 1, and the letter was sent on Dec 8. All my application materials show as being received. It says not to contact them regarding missing materials until after Jan 25.

for NYU, do you see anything online on the embark website, or was the app material shown as complete in the letter they sent?

The letter contains an ID and a link to this page
http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/request/smts.html
where you can check the status of your materials.

Update: NYU complete.

Please, share your info!

i agree it's nice to have confirmation that your application is complete. however, my understanding is that most, if not all, of these schools would let you know if something was missing, rather than just throw away your application. i mean, we did pay something like $50-$100 per app. thus, maybe we don't need to worry about it so much. does anyone know if that's generally true?

Maybe you're right, and I'm just overly worried...

i remember that last yr a friend of mine applied to duke and they rejected him automatically because his transcripts were never received by them.
they never contacted him to let him know about the transcript.
so if youre applying to duke, you should make sure things are in...

Did you check the embark website for Princeton?
How did you know it is complete?

Yep, I checked the embark website. It shows my GRE scores and transcript as received, and everything else was submitted online, so I hope it is complete.

oh ok, i see the same.
i remember a lady at princeton told me that they dont update the status of things that were submitted online. thats why i was a little confused as to how you saw your application was complete...
thanks for your help..

How does one check the status of Northwestern and UPenn? I didnt recieve any emails from them after submission. Has anyone else recieved emails?
