<p>Has anyone else who applied regular decision several days back not yet received the standard "thank you for applying, track your application here" email from W&M? I got the emails from CommonApp notifying me that my applications have indeed been sent (I submitted them on Boxing Day), but I still haven't heard back from William and Mary. When should I start to panic?</p>
<p>@RexSueciae, no need to panic. Usually 7000+ of the RD applications we receive come in in the week leading up to the application deadline. That creates quite a backlog for us. It can easily be 2-3 weeks before you receive an initial email from us letting you know your application was downloaded by W&M. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this very busy time.</p>
<p>Thank you! I’ll try to keep from panicking for a little while longer…</p>
