<p>DS applied online last week but has not recieved anything saying "we have received your online app" - what did others get when they applied? anything?</p>
<p>Spikemom,
We received a letter acknowledging the reciept and what if any materials were outstanding when D applied ED. That may take a while this time of year. I would call Admissions Office to be safe.</p>
<p>DD applied RD in November. She recieved a similar letter acknowledging reciept of the app. and listing outstanding materials, but never heard if they had recieved those other items.</p>
<p>She ended up calling Admissions yesterday to confirm reciept of all materials (likewise with William and Mary; Colby able to check on the internet; Hartwick sent follow-up letters)</p>
<p>On the common app site you can check if admissions downloaded your app. My S received a letter about 2 weeks after his app was downloaded listing what was still needed.</p>
<p>thanks for that tip joinville - oddly, only 2 out of DS's 8 schools are common app schools, so I wasn't familiar with that feature. App was downloaded the day after it was submitted, so I will assume all is well.</p>
<p>My S also kept up a regular communication using e-mail to keep a check on the status of his app. You can send e-mails to any of the admissions reps through the Lafayette site. Everyone there was very helpful and he even got replies directly from Director of Admissions. I don't recommend being a pest but whenever DS has a legitimate question they'll be happy to answer. Her e-mails will also show the school that her application to Laf is important to her/him.</p>
