<p>When your mail arrives at the school, how long does it usually take for it to get processed?
Are there cases when some parts of the applications get "lost" in the pile and therefore becomes counted as "not received" or received late?</p>
<p>Generally speaking, schools recieve the mail, then timestamp/organize by date recieved them right away before sorting through them. So no, I don’t think it’ll be ‘received late’.</p>
<p>The most important thing to do is to relax. The application is out of your hands now and the questions you are asking are merely physical manifestations of your anxiety. It’s definitely not a healthy way to regain control. </p>
<p>The most simple answer anyone can give you is: “we don’t know”. So just forget about the applications process and enjoy senior year… you’ll be plenty anxious enough when decision week rolls in. :)</p>
