<p>i sent in my application for early decision three weeks ago ... but I havent received any confirmation that it got to duke. I'm not sure if its supposed to take this long before I hear from them, or if my stuff got lost in the mail!!! & i kinda wanted to call them to make sure, but the website says not to call until the 15th!!! Am I making a big deal out of this or should I be genuinely worried?!?</p>
<p>This happened to me with Wake Forest last year. It probably got there, but since it's a busy time with the influx of ED applications there's probably a bit of a backlog with getting things entered/confirmation. They'll let you know if they don't have everything, but I'm sure they do. Call on the 15th or a few days after, but don't freak out. Wake Forest told me for the longest time (like, a month) that my teacher recs were probably still backlogged and it turned out OK.</p>
<p>Do you not have your code for the online site where you can check what they have?</p>
<p>Check on the online site...they're pretty good about posting when things get there</p>
<p>Hey, if you sent in your app on Nov 1st, in terms of getting all the necessary material, when would they actually then begin to review your app?</p>
<p>To the OP:</p>
<p>I sent my app around the same time you did. I still haven't recieved word from Duke, but because i sent the app "certified" through the post office (and thus, they tell me when it gets there) I know its there. Basically, despite the fact that Duke still hasn't contacted me, I know its there and I'd imagine you're probably in the same boat.</p>
