do schools contact you if you're missing a LOE or dat scores?

or do they expect you to eventually send it in without any notifications?


my NYU status in AADSAS is "app received, waiting for additional info" but I'm sure everything should be in.. just wondering if they would contact me if I was missing something

99% of the time they will not contact you. They have so many applications to go through that they figure if you aren't interested enough to follow up, then they will just pick someone else. I would call NYU and ask them if there is any additional information that they need from you. Be nice to the receptionists when you call, too, that can help move your application along.
 
Maybe and only if they really, really, really, really want you.

Mine also says waiting for additional info! I gave them a call yesterday and they said that they haven't got to my application yet. They just want to notify us that our apps are received but they haven't actually got to check to see if it is complete yet. Don't worry and give em a few weeks!
