<p>I applied EA to Willamette but they haven't sent me anything (confirmation). As far as I'm aware, all my things should be there. I was wondering if I should send the adcom an email? or should I just wait? Ughh please help me, I'm new to the whole thing.</p>
<p>Check their admissions website first, there may be info there on how long it takes before you hear anything. Also, many admissions departments have their own Facebook page and I can guarantee you other people would have posted the same question.
It takes them some time to get all the applicants into their database, and many schools create username/passwords so students can then login to check their application status. It takes awhile to do that.</p>
<p>Generally, colleges would rather you not email for confirmation or status. They get lots of emails anyways and sending one that’s unnecessary can seem annoying and clingy.</p>
<p>But, if you don’t see anything within two weeks, send a polite email asking if they got your application. If you applied through the Common App, if your status is “Downloaded”, then that means the school has received your application.</p>
