<p>How would we know if Stanford received all the documents for our application? Do they send any kind of mail or email regarding the status of our application or call us for missing materials? I'm guessing that they don't have an online status page...</p>
<p>You will get a confirmation postcard in the mail if all of your materials have been received. If any materials are missing, you will get an email. There is no way to check online, and they won't tell you anything over the phone. The only reason you should worry about anything yet is if you either put your email or postal address incorrectly on the application (so you don't get confirmation), or if you think that it's likely something didn't get received (maybe you forgot your return address and only put a couple stamps on a big envelope).</p>
<p>thx for the reply, ya, I wasn't sure if we were able to check online for the status.</p>
<p>What if you didn't send the card over with your application?</p>
<p>They mail you their own card, so I'm not sure what card you are talking about.</p>
<p>So has any RD person gotten a complete card yet? I haven't.</p>
<p>I haven't.</p>
<p>I don't think anyone has received a postcard yet. I read somewhere that if you are missing something, they'll send you a postcard in mid-February.</p>
<p>o, tennis, the card you're talking about is the optional acknowledgement card, isn't this for receiving acknowledgement that we have paid the application fee?</p>
<p>i got that one back</p>
<p>i know that stanford got my application, because they've cashed my check for the application fee already.</p>
<p>haven't gotten anything</p>
<p>Haven't gotten anything either. So it's all good.</p>
<p>Don't worry, Stanford sends out its confirmation postcards quite late (March even...).</p>
<p>oh right.... hmmm i thought we had to send that optional card thingy if we wanted to get a confirmation</p>
<p>I haven't gotten anything yet, and I applied by the December 15th deadline. Should I be worried?</p>
<p>Think February!</p>
<p>You won't hear anything from them until mid-Feb. If you applied online, I believe an e-mail is sent.</p>
