<p>My D has been deferred fro Stanford. I sent her updated info via certified mail. Today, when I checked the status on web , it does't show any information of delivery? I am very nervous, I ruined all her chances.</p>
<p>Are you talking about the Stanford site or the USPS site? Sometimes USPS forgets to scan their stuff, so it doesn't appear on the site. Also, schools are so busy right now, that they can't acknowledge that they accept everything a student sends. </p>
<p>Yes, it is too late. Right now colleges are just tying up loose ends and envelope stuffing. </p>
<p>Good luck! And no, you didn't ruin her chances. </p>
<p>Also, you can save money by just doing the 'Delivery Confirmation' and not the Certified Mail. You get the same proof of mailing, and you'll save a lot of money.</p>
<p>It was USPS site. Then, I called main post office and they couldn'r track either. They are showing other stuff I sent to other colleges but not Stanford which was most the important.</p>
<p>Yeah, that happened to me with my Columbia application. But they got it. USPS likely forgot to scan the barcode along the way. I wouldn't worry about it. When did you send it though? If you sent it in the last weeks, it's highly unlikely it got into your (wow, I guess it's your D's – usually I'm used to the applicant freaking out, not the * mother*) file and that it was reviewed. Generally, middle of February is the cut-off for sending things.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, why are YOU calling USPS when it's your DAUGHTER'S application? I know it's nice to help a kid out, but soon we're not gonna have you (parents)... :_(</p>
<p>I was calling USPS, because I was the one who posted it. I posted it on 27th Feb. She was out of the town because of her UNModel conference that day. She me gave the envelope in the hope I might be a better person.... otherwise she is one of the most independent people on earth and I feel mad about this sometimes.</p>
<p>Oh, sorry. It's pretty unlikely USPS lost it. I had many applications to send, put delivery confirmation on all of them, and all of them got there. I know it's an useless anecdotal example, but maybe it will help you forgive my presuming comments and give you a tiny bit of peace of mind.</p>
<p>Ad officer, any comment? Thanks.</p>
<p>Haha - Thanks for the trust. Schools come out with their decisions in ~8 days.... though different sources of information are always good things.</p>
<p>I trusted you that's why I could sleep little bit last night but as you said that diffrent sources are always good. Anyways..</p>
<p>Agreed. By the way, I'm sorry for my assumption. Though it's no excuse, I've met some parents that are so terribly overbearing on their children at young ages, claiming that their kids ** KNOW ** that they want to go to MIT/Stanford etc., and want to become a physicist or whatever. </p>
<p>Again, I apologize.</p>
