<p>I e-mailed my admissions counselor a week ago since I had not yet received a decision regarding whether or not I had been accepted. She stated that she didn't get my application (even though I submitted it in January!), but she would expedite it (What? Thought she didn't have my application...) through them the next day and have a decision in the mail. I still haven't gotten a letter, and the deposit is due on May 1. How long does it usually take to get an admission notification? Should I be worried? What should I do?</p>
<p>Yes, of course you should be worried. You do not say what school this is. However, it could take a week for the mail to get to you (especially if they did not actually get a decision out the very next day). I would call back and VERY politely ask if they did indeed find your application, if it was complete (do they need anything else from you?), and confirm when a decision will be arriving given the short timeframe to May 1.</p>
<p>Yeah, especially if this is the school you want to go to. Definitely call back and ask to confirm that a decision was made and it’s been sent.</p>
