<p>I don't know if this has been asked before but could anyone please explain whether universities acknowledge receipt of application through an e-mail.I applied(through common application) to both Stanford and Cornell but I haven't received any correspondence from Stanford although Cornell did send an e-mail. How do we check the status of our application? Don't we get a PIN or something?
I am an international so I don't know much about how the application process works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks</p>
<p>Did you provide an email address to Stanford? My daughter got an acknowledgment via email from Common App on Jan 2, no acknowledgment yet from Stanford...</p>
<p>I would also add that most of her other schools already sent their acknowledgments re: supplements.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply kyml.I did provide an email address on common application and got an automatic email acknowledging receipt of common application as well although I have yet to get a response from Stanford's admission office.</p>
<p>Hopefully,Stanford will email soon.</p>
<p>i got the common app message but i have not yet received anything from stanford. kinda makes me nervous...</p>
<p>Same here, I presume they just haven't gotten around to emailing anything yet :)</p>
<p>I emailed Stanford a while back and the rep said Stanford will send an email in late January with a site to check the application status, and I sent my app in in early November. I think the site is Stanford's axess website, but everytime I try to check my credentials it says that the material has not gone through yet. I also haven't received anything from Cornell either.</p>
<p>I have received acknowledgments from all schools applied to mid-late November but not from Stanford. Applied to Stanford mid-November. Several schools have already replied that the application is complete and in review. Why does Stanford take so long when many of these other schools have acknowledged and they receive far more applications? What does this mean?</p>
<p>"What does this mean?"</p>
<p>Um, bureaucracy? Or shall we say, the Californian laid-back style?</p>
<p>My son still doesn't have anything showing on the axess website. He included acknowledgment postcards with the envelopes for his teachers and counselor so we know everything got there in November. The postcards were an idea we learned here. I'm going to be sure to post the idea here in the Stanford forum next year! It really saves anxiety to know everything is there.</p>
<p>We did the same. Sent all material certified (signed and received) but it would be nice to see on their website that they have everything.</p>
<p>I still haven't gotten anything recently (except a notification in December, which said I still needed to send in a supplement -- sent it in later that month).</p>
<p>Hey, at least you got something meaning some communication - you're alive. Haven't heard from Stanford at all. Zero.</p>
