I am currently applying to university and the admissions team of one of the universities that I applied to requested certain documents for me to help assess my application, but they requested that this be provided by a third-party ie a doctor or some other professional and emailed directly to them from that person’s email account. They said that once they received the document they could attach it to my record, but that they couldn’t accept the document being submitted to them directly from me for purposes of verification.
I managed to get a third party to send them the document two days ago, citing my name and application number (so the university could link it to me) via email and the university hasn’t responded to either me or the third party. By this, I mean they didn’t respond to the third party by saying “thank you for this” or “we will attach it to their record” etc nor did they email me to tell me the third party had done it. I know this because the third party told me they didn’t receive any such response when I asked them.
I’m just confused - even disregarding the specific nature of this situation - if you receive an email from a third party regarding information requested from them about someone else, is it common to respond to the third party? I’m not sure if the university just went ahead and attached the third party’s document directly to my record and went on with their business.
Surely, if there was something wrong like them not accepting the document for whatever reason they’d contact me but they haven’t.
Do you know what might be happening.
