<p>Should Yale have sent me an e-mail or something notifying my application's been received? And can I check the status on Commonapp.org?</p>
<p>They'll send you a letter with a pin #.</p>
<p>If my application says "submitted" on 11/01, but hasn't yet been downloaded, have I met the deadline?</p>
<p>Stop fretting. They aren't in business to bounce applications. </p>
<p>There isn't a troll in the admissions ofc mailroom shoveling documents that are postmarked "Nov 2" into a great furnace, either.</p>
<p>From what I've heard, they'll send you a PIN in about 7-10 days. Best of luck to you.</p>
