<p>when will we get an acknowledgement of the receipt of our applications to the schools we Applied too?</p>
<p>If you submitted your app close to the deadline, try not to wait for the mailman too soon. They're swamped with application processing. When I applied to Penn ED, I submitted my app a day prior to the deadline. I didn't receive the confirmation postcard until three-four weeks after the deadline.</p>
<p>If you used the Common Application, you can look at the "Checklist" page and see when the college downloaded your application and supplement.</p>
