<p>Hello, my son applied ED1 in November and has not gotten an email from AU acknowledging that they got the application or letting him know how to register so that he can check the status. (He only got the common app acknowledgement). Does AU not send such acknowledgements or have a way to check status online? Every other school he applied to has sent some kind of email acknowledging the application or letting him know how to check status online. </p>
<p>Start here…</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.american.edu/admissions/prospective_student_portal.cfm”>http://www.american.edu/admissions/prospective_student_portal.cfm</a></p>
<p>The only acknowledgement I received from AU was an acceptance letter</p>
<p>JMD1964, thanks, but he checked the prospective student portal, and all it says is: “Thank you for your interest in American University. Applications are currently being reviewed.” This is pretty generic and doesn’t confirm they got HIS application. I.e., it would be nice if it at least said, “we received your application, and are in the process of reviewing it,” since it’s a personalized portal. </p>
<p>Hey! I had this same issue I also applied ED1 to American about 2 weeks ago. I decided to email them and they told me that thru recieved all of my information and that the “generic message” you are actually means that they got your information! (They would email you if you were missing materials) hope this helped! </p>
<p>thanks JennaMIcheal!</p>
