WebAdvisors logins have STARTED going out...

...which means that while some of you have received them already, many of you will get them over the next few weeks, or later if you've yet to apply.

We ask you to keep these facts in mind when you check your WebAdvisor account:

- It can take up to 4 weeks to process your documents. So, for those of you who met the Early Action deadline, it is very possible that your application documents are not yet in your file here in our office (so for example, you may see on WebAdvisor that a transcript, or letter of rec is missing). This is normal, and it does NOT affect your early action status. We do request that you wait 4 weeks to see if a document makes it to your file before you consider re-sending anything. Double copies of documents "bog" our system down and make processing even slower, so in the long run it makes the problem worse when students send multiple copies of everything.

- You may see documents noted in your file that look like they arrived after the deadline. We date-stamp all of our materials in house so we will recognize the date we received them over the date we finally get them into your file (which rarely happens on the same day).

- It is very possible that documents you sent on the same day will technically "arrive" in your file on different days within our office. Again, this is not something about which you need to worry.

- The date we download your application from CommonApp may be different than the date you submitted it. We recognize the date you submitted it.

Whew! That was a lot of information, hopefully it sheds some light on things for you guys. We DEFINITELY appreciate your patience this time of year. As always, please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.

Sending Additional DVD's/etc

About two years ago some of the counselors in the office at the time got together to make a video blog addressing the issue of sending additional DVD's or CD's with your application. The information is still good, and the video has been re-posted below.

*No Dodge College applications were harmed in any way shape or form in the creation of this vlog.



The original post is here.

Best wishes and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Twins Days!

Everyone who works in an office understands that this happens sometimes... you come in to work and for whatever reason... someone else dressed just like you. Its not on purpose - its completely random - but it still freaks you out.

Well, here is what a few days have looked like in our office so far and generally we Tweet about it.

That reminds me... you should follow us on Twitter @chapmanadmit

Our 100th POST!

I'm so excited to announce that THIS POST marks our 100th post! I feel the urgency to say something really really important, or show you something really really exciting! I mean - the 100'th post for Chappenings should be massive - explosive - groundbreaking!

Unfortunately i can't think of anything... so enjoy these Las Vegas fireworks.
