ahhhh - references

[oh-iknow]

One of my reference letters still hasn't been received!

I talked to my referee and he says if it's not there yet, it's on the way. It's Friday afternoon, though, and I don't think mail will be delivered on Saturday. Does anyone know how strict U of A is about this? It would really suck to submit my application, pay the fee, only to be disqualified...

 

Thanks!

ur ok, don't worry about it, even if it doesnt get in theyll let u let the ref send it again

One of mine isn't, either, but she said she mailed it on Monday. I'm sure they'd be fine with it as long as it's postmarked before Nov 1, don't worry.

I was stressing out about this too. She finally mailed it Monday, and it is marked as received now. I bet they get a lot of letters right at the end.

both of mine were sent about a week and a half ago...still says "not received"...

 

should I give them a call or will that just tick them off?

I'm not planning on contacting them unless it still shows up as not received next Monday.

My references still show up as "Not Received"...

My second one was sent the Wednesday before the application deadline (the 29th) and has just been received today, to give the rest of you a bit of a timeline.

One of mine still not in, sent on the 27th...from the US, though.

I emailed regarding reference updates and was told it might take another 10-14 days due to high volume.

Update: They're both in.

Yay, my 2nd one is in, too!
