And yet......
"Note. Any entity that has an EIN will retain that EIN even if its federal tax classification changes under Regulations section 301.7701-3. If a disregarded entity’s classification changes so that it becomes recognized as a partnership or association for federal tax purposes, and that entity had an EIN, then the entity must continue to use that EIN. If the entity did not already have its own EIN, then the entity must apply for an EIN and not use the identifying number of the single owner. A foreign entity that makes an election under Regulations section 301.7701-3(c) and (d) must also use its own taxpayer identifying number. See sections 6721 through 6724 for penalties that may apply for failure to supply taxpayer identifying numbers. If the entity electing to be classified using Form 8832 does not have an EIN, it must apply for one on Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number. The entity must have received an EIN by the time Form 8832 is filed in order for the form to be processed. An election will not be accepted if the eligible entity does not provide an EIN. ▲ ! CAUTION Do not apply for a new EIN for an existing entity that is changing its classification if the entity already has an EIN."

"Taxpayers can fax the completed Form SS-4 application to the appropriate fax number (see Where to File Your Taxes (for Form SS-4)), after ensuring that the Form SS-4 contains all of the required information. If it is determined that the entity needs a new EIN, one will be assigned using the appropriate procedures for the entity type. If the taxpayer's fax number is provided, a fax will be sent back with the EIN within four (4) business days."
....It's been three weeks. So now I'm thinking I don't need a new EIN after all?? Maybe just Form 8832?? Which sucks because I already filed with "Applied for" in the EIN box, and now it looks like I didn't need to?
