<p>hey everyone,
i sent my rice application (or rather common app w/ supplement) about 2 weeks before the deadline via postal service (as opposed to online). and i'm kind of worried b/c most all of the other colleges I applied to using the postal application have processed all my stuff. why havent i recieved a confirmation? is rice just slow? agh
should i call, or is it too soon to be worried. how much time is left before i should start worrying?</p>
<p>The Admissions Office at Rice seems particularly approachable and responsive. I had a similar concern to yours (I had mailed my "box and "signature page" but received no confirmation of receipt), so I simply 'phoned the Admissions Office. They were great: they immediately checked the status of my app., informed me that all parts were in their possession, and that was that. I detected no irritation and the whole enquiry took, at most, 3 minutes.
So, I would advise calling them to alleviate your concerns. Most prolly they do have all your materials, or they would have contacted you by now to find out about any missing parts.
Anyhow, best of luck.</p>
