Confirmation from Penn?

<p>I know there was a similar thread last week, but nobody seemed to be too sure. I applied using the common app online and submitted it the 28th. does anyone know when we get confirmation letters (email or regular mail) that penn has received our applications? I would call the office of admissions but I’m not sure if they really want 5000 Ed-ers calling them over a period of several days. what do you think?</p>
