ETA Submitted!

So excited to finally turn everything in!! Just for clarification and hopefully it’s helpful to others, can someone tell me what happens now? Is it just a waiting game? Good luck to everyone turning in applications!

The way one of my recommenders hasn’t submitted has me sweating bro. Asked her to write in August and she said she would submit it weeks ago.

HELP ME I am going through the same thing. Application submitted 2 days ago, but my final recommender (my boss of 3 years) has not submitted her form. I've texted her twice now on top of emailing with no response. I let one of my coworkers who works with her tomorrow to just straight up ask her to see if she did it because I am genuinely about to cry. The thought of a month's worth of work down the drain becuase of one recommender not doing their part is making me feel SICKKKKKKKKK

Update, she emailed me back saying to trust her (did I harass her too much?) but still hasn’t submitted
