App Confirmation

<p>Hey guys-
I applied to Bowdoin RD, but i still havnt recieved any kind of confirmation that they have received my application. I email, but obviously got the auto-response telling me that i should receive something in the mail. I made sure it was postmarked well before the deadline, and my app to Midd that i sent at the same time was confirmed about 2 weeks ago…</p>

<p>So should I start worrying that maybe my app never got to Maine, or have none of you all recieved anything yet either???</p>

<p>thanks!

<p>I got my confirmation letter a week or two ago. I submitted my app. online a few days before the deadline so I would think that by now you should have recieved a confirmation letter.</p>

<p>I only got my confirmation letter two days ago so it may still be coming</p>

<p>Wow! Someone else from Arizona who is actually applying to a LAC....I thought I was the only one. </p>

<p>Just out of curiosity....flootloop and jupp1313 did you submit online? It may just be that they get to the online apps. first and then move on to the snail mail.</p>

<p>i submitted online</p>

<p>I've received TWO letters acknowledging my application. The first (received two weeks ago) said that they had gotten my application, and the next (received just a few days ago) was just to point out that I hadn't forgotten anything in my application. I did apply ED2, so maybe there is a difference there. Also, I live in Maine, so it only takes one day for mail to get to me. Good luck!</p>

<p>Ask your guidance counselor what to do.</p>

<p>I love Bowdoin and would have been happy if my daughter had decided to apply there (and she would have if she had not been accepted ED somewhere else that was just a mite better fit for her). Along the way, unfortunately, we had several dealings with Bowdoin that indicated that they were either short-staffed or disorganized in the Admissions Office. </p>

<p>Don't go nuts over this but don't assume that your application is there and properly filed. Follow up on it.</p>

<p>I just got off the phone with Bowdoin's Admissions and they said they are in the process of mailing out more acknowledgement letters as we speak. She said she was folding them at that moment and that a large group of the letters also went out last week.</p>

<p>hey guys-
thanks for all the helpful responses. I waited it out a couple more days and sure enough, my confirmation came in the mail yesterday. Had me stressed for a little bit there...</p>

<p>Thanks again and good luck to everyone!
