<p>I heard that after you submit the common application online Harvard is supposed to email you with your ID so that you could check your application status on their site… it’s been a few days now and I still haven’t gotten an email. Is that normal?</p>
<p>Give 'em some time. =)</p>
<p>And, I'm not sure if they e-mail you or not . . . I received a letter in the mail with that information.</p>
<p>i don't think that they e-mail ur ID. i got my PIN in a letter too...</p>
<p>No email...just a letter. Takes a LONG time. Don't fret.</p>
<p>Mine took a month to reach my house. if you're getting really itchy u can always send an email to <a href="mailto:admpin@fas.harvard.edu">admpin@fas.harvard.edu</a> with the subject line PIN and your full name in the body. If they received your app, they will send the PIN to you through email.</p>
<p>Mine came in less than a week and a half. Don't worry, though, I guess I was just the exception.</p>
