I applied...now what??

<p>I just submitted applications to a few schools via commonapp. Will these schools send me an email soon with a user ID and password to check on the status of my application? The reason I am wondering is because I sent my teacher RECS and transcripts and secondary school reports by mail, so I would like to know if they have been recieved.</p>

<p>Hi,
sorry I cannot answer your question. But when you send your transcript etc. did you write a cover letter and what information did you included in this letter?
And, did you send your papers in a folder or…?</p>

<p>Most schools will send you assigned Login ID and PIN in your application acknowledgement letter. This acknowledgement will be sent via e-mail and/or by letter to the address provided on your application. Some say please allow 2–3 weeks for the Login ID and PIN to arrive. Check each schools web site.</p>

<p>Schools that don’t send you the login and PIN sometimes will send you updates by email or even snail mail when they receive your transcript and recs. And, a few schools will even call to remind you if they do not have everything that is required.</p>
