InstantRamen Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 :S I only needed to fill in one or the other last year. But perhaps call and ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jksnap36 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 :S I only needed to fill in one or the other last year. But perhaps call and ask! Sorry, but could you clarify? Do you mean that you only had to fill in only one phone number before? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantRamen Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Email or phone number! One or the other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicine Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I listed N/A for phone number for one of my verifier since he is travelling but gave email address since he still has email access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab2185 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I would email admissions and explain why you can't give the phone number so they can make a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghimbo Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 In one of the info sessions I raised the concern that some of my verifiers dont have a phone and if that was ok. They said they usually contact them by email first and if that doesnt work then by phone . They also said that if they cant get a hold of a verifier they contact you to check in. I got an email one year asking to verify the email of my verifier as they couldn't reach them. It was correct - my verifier just took a long time to reply.

PeanutButter1 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I put N/A for the phone number for one of my verifiers because they preferred email contact. I just emailed admissions and explained the situation. They just emailed back and said they require a phone number or a new verifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popetopus Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I put N/A for the phone number for one of my verifiers because they preferred email contact. I just emailed admissions and explained the situation. They just emailed back and said they require a phone number or a new verifier. I can second this as admissions responded similarly to me. Assuming that they will follow-up with applicants who entered N/A, I suppose it would be a good idea to track down a complete verifier in the mean time. I wonder how that will work... some people may need to change names for verifiers, given that the system only allows one to edit phone#/email...

lostandmaybefound Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm sure if it's the case that they require a completely new verifier, you can provide that information over email and they'll adjust accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghimbo Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I also have some verifiers with no phone numbers but I haven't heard anything from Adcom abou it - although I submitted on Sept 14th so could be they havent gotten around to it. Will let you know if Adcom contacts me about this but honestly I don't think this should be an issue. They said they contact by email first then by phone if they dont get a reply.

I left a couple phone numbers out last year and this year. Definitely hasnt been a problem in the past, and not sure what would be so special about this year that they would try to change it.

RicardoKaká Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 At least 5 of my verifiers were contacted today (minimum 5). Is it just an automatic process? The system just randomly sends a few emails? Or is someone actually already reviewing my application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised they are already contacting people this early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoKaká Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 ^ I submitted the 12th or 13th I believe, just got sick and tired of reviewing my application 1000's of times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its not automatic as I remember one year when I saved a copy of my application it looked different from the PDF the system generates now and there was button labeled "send verification email" This is kind of what the entries looked like: Capacity to Work with Others - Title of your activity School Year (Sep-Apr):01/01/2009 - 01/01/2010 Description: blah blah blah Organization: Blah Total Hours: blah Contact Info: Your verifiers contact information Verification status: Not Verified [send verification email] By default all of my verification status' were "not verified" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
