Hi everyone,

I need some urgent help.
My referees(recommenders) have not received the automated link for filling the recommendation forms.
The steps I followed are:
- Go to 'Submit Supplemental Items'
- Add the two referees' names and e-mail IDs
- Go to 'Complete Application'
- Go to 'Professional Recommendation Requests'
- Tick-marked both the boxes and clicked on 'Save and Continue'

Shouldn't the links be sent to my referees as soon as I complete the above steps even though the application is not submitted?

I dropped an e-mail to the [email protected] and am waiting for a response. I also tried calling them today afternoon but I am guessing the staff was out for lunch-break - will try once again tomorrow morning.

Can anyone please shed some light on the process here - any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and cheers!

Hi All,

My first post on this thread.

I've finally submitted my application today - quite a relief I must say. Although I think I could have done better on the video essay component. :sad:

Hoping for the best.

Any idea how many days they usually take before getting back on the application, once the same has been submitted.

ramleela,

The Round 1 deadline is October 16th.
From my experience, it is possible that if you were to get an interview invite it could happen
anytime post that date up until December 15th(official date of releasing the application decision)

Hope that helps you!

I'd be really curious to know what the normal processing time is once you get into October. I know someone earlier heard back on his application one day after submission (in September). I'm assuming those days are gone now that more people are submitting, and I wonder what would be a reasonable time frame now - 1 week, 3 weeks?

pushpitkc, thanks a lot!
I'll PM krazykunal1410 too.

Hi ramleela,

Have your reference letters been submitted by your referees?
When did they receive the link to the reference form - was it after you submitted the application?

Thanks,
Utkarsh

I’m facing a similar issue. The link is not being received. I have written to them regarding it.

Utkarsh, could you pm me if your issue gets resolved?

Thanks,
Vivek

Hi Utkarsh,

My referees received the reference emails, a few months ago, when I uploaded their names onto the system. It is important that you check the box that says "send email to referee" or something of that sort - this checkbox is available on the page where you enter a new referee's credentials. That basically ensures that the moment you save their names into the system, they receive the email reference forms.

Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Thanks ramleela, I did the same: - first submgitted their names and IDs in the supplemental items section and then tick-marked in the main application form. Not sure what is the issue.

Sure vivek1012. Let us do that. I called them yesterday and they suggested me to give the personal email IDs of the referees as the office servers may some times block certain IDs, but this did not resolve the issue. :(

Yes, I am facing the same issue.

Both my recommenders have not received the mail.

I dropped in a mail with Rotman.

Has anyone's issue been resolved?

I suppose it's happening for more than one person. So I think it's possible that the link might not be working.

Anyways you shouldn't worry if it is a technical error from the college's end.

You will definitely get an extension but stay in touch and send remainders to be on the safer side guys!!

Right, but I believe it should be notified to Adcom people so that they get to know its happening for many students.

Hey avdgmat4777, pushpitkc, dreams101, ramleela, vivek1012,

I had sent a mail on 9th October to [email protected] but I have not received a response.
I also tried calling the two phone numbers available on the website.
Is there any other email ID we can reach the adCom on?
I am guessing that contacting the members of the admissions committee directly instead of using the umbrella email ID might be more effective.

Is there any current student who might be able to help?

Thanks guys!!!

I believe better to write a mail to Ally Morrow (with high priority)

Just received an email from Richard:

"We were previously experiencing a technical glitch with our recommendation e-mail process. This issue has now been resolved and your reference should now have received their reference request."
