hi all, my recommender hasnt submmited lor yet. but can i submit my application still for r1?

im facing the same issue. i attended an event and got a waiver but it still shows application fee pending. ive mailed them but did u get any update on this?

I have the same issue, so i sent them an email a couple of weeks ago. No response. But I did get an email that the waiver is approved in an automated email.

so in ur application status it shows as fee waived now? or still payment pending?


so like, do i wait? i tried calling them but it just went to voicemail. since my application is submitted but i haven’t paid yet, will it be pushed to r2 once deadline has passed?

Still says "Payment due"

Did you get a "Application Submission Confirmation" email? You won’t be able to submit the application if you don’t make the payment unless you have a waiver applied.

yep. checked just now. got that mail. so i can safely say its considered as submission for R1 then?

Well that’s what I am hoping for. I sent them an email and tried leaving a voicemail, no response unfortunately.

well the app preview doc shows ’r1’ so i think its ok for now. and if u didnt get a reponse yet, i dont think ill be getting it anytime soon. Ill update here if i get any info

Where does this complete chart show up?

Meaning, where you can find the chart or the message that shows the completion of the chart?

Message before actually submitting the application. I also got the app fee waiver but just want to cautious if I submit last min, I might face the same issue as people above, leaving me no time to reach the adcom
So trying to figure if there’s way to know about app fee without actually submitting the application?

+1, even though I did get an email from Tepper about twice saying I do qualify for a waiver if I make an application with that email id they mailed on.

I sent email about this issue a week ago, but no updates at all😅 still pending the fee

I suppose not. After the deadline has passed, they will review all the materials and then update the status for the applications submitted before deadline.

why do they ask HR contact number in application?
