I submitted applications to Lehigh, Lafayette, UPenn, Vassar, and Swarthmore yesterday. I received an email to access the student portals at Lehigh and Lafayette. However, I have yet to receive access to the portals at UPenn, Vassar, and Swarthmore. Is this normal? Should I contact the schools? It has been less than 48 hours, so I think it just takes time to process, but I want to make sure that there was no error on my part!
Many offices are closed, or have a skeleton staff, until after New Year’s. I’d wait until the first week of January to contact them if you have heard nothing before. Check your spam folder in the meanwhile.
Some schools can take up to a week, especially in high-traffic times. Most offices are closed right now as well, so don’t worry. If you don’t receive them within 2 weeks, call and ask.
