Is anyone getting emails back from Bates and Richmond?

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I've sent my financial aid applications by email to both colleges (they told me to do so to expedite the process), but I haven't heard anything from them since. And it's been about a week. Usually they confirm or reply to my emails in the same day or within 48hours. I know a week is very little time and that I'm probably incredibly paranoid, but just wanting to check.</p>
