<p>i sent an email with my essay to the honors program last week, but haven't received a confirmation email or anything of that sort. was i supposed to receive one?</p>
<p>They don't message saying that they received it. They'll only contact you when they've accepted you.</p>
<p>they contact you if you've been rejected too, right?</p>
<p>I'd assume so. If the deadline is approaching and you haven't turned your stuff in, they'll email you again. That's pretty much the only way to gauge whether or not they've received your essay (aside from calling them, of course).</p>
<p>i called last week and gave them my email and they sent me and email confirming receipt of the application within 15 minutes, they are very nice there</p>
