**Graduate Applicants ** January 20, 2011 STATUS CHECKING IS NOT UP-TO-DATE. PLEASE DO NOT TELEPHONE OR EMAIL REGARDING THIS – IT WILL ONLY SLOW PROCESSING. Georgia Tech was closed for several days shortly after the Christmas break due to inclement weather. This has caused a backlog of files ready for review which are now being processed. However, updates to status checking require an evaluator to look at your documents and make the update which you see on the web. As we work through this process, status checking will be updated, but it may take some time. If you uploaded your documents with your application (since 12/13/10) and you can see your application in status checking, then your documents ARE here – they come to us WITH the application. IF ANYTHING IS NEEDED FOR YOUR APPLICATION, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
