Did you guys just get the email from your analyst?
Hello Applicants: If you responded to the first offer, please let me know the day you faxed the documents. If this is the first time you receiving this e-mail message. Please send the fax response
Nope. Sounds like they're going back and trying again to get in touch with everyone who missed the original email, or whose paperwork got lost in the fax flurry. I'm glad to hear it - means they're getting closer to finalizing everything.
Also, I looove the sound of the word "offer" there. :)
You would think, though, that they would go back and verify the people that they did not hear from, instead of resending it in mass quantities. Or maybe they had more people than they expected turn it down? Or maybe they did have fax issues that they didn't admit to? Who knows... either way.
I know that I have not been expecting letters to have been sent in the past few days because I don't know of anyone having credit pulled. They hold fast to the fact that they cannot give the scholarship to anyone without pulling credit.
Maybe, now, if they get all the kinks worked out, they can actually more forward to the next step in the process.
My analyst's initial is MC...I replied to her email. I don't know but I hope they figure it out real soon!!!
Did you get the first email? I agree with Twois, I think it sounds like they are trying to get in touch with people who they either never received faxes from or the people never received the first email.
Have you ever spoken to her? Or received an answered email from her?
Yes I emailed her awhile back and asked her if she could tell me if my info was received and I received an email from her saying they would contact me if they didn't receive it. It was the same day we got the letter from the guy saying not to call. But other then that ....oh and I spoke with her on the phone when I was having fax issues...but they were issues on my end not theirs.
lol...so I called my analyst. Get this!! She picks up!! Wooohooo!! Of course my call drops! At&T driving me nutts!! So I called her back and she said she received my email and that her secretary is going through all the documents to make sure mines was received and that she would let me know. She said that they had so many emails and calls. That everyone was picking up and grabbing faxes from the fax machine so everything was just crazy. So she sent out the emails just to make sure she didn't miss anyone....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
