<p>Hi guys, I am an international RD applicant to around 12 schools. I applied on the 31/12 and have yet to receive any confirmation emails or user or responses from any of the schools at all (includes ivies). According to the Common App, the schools have all downloaded the application (most on the 1st). Have I done something wrong? What should my next step be?</p>
<p>Most schools take quite a while to send confirmation emails, as these often include access to status-checking systems and often require that your application first be filed. With the onslaught of applications combined with Winter Break, it takes a while to get all the filing done.</p>
<p>^ This. Also, check you spam folders regularly. I’ve had a lot of confirmations sent to my folder. And make sure you spelled your email address correctly! :-)</p>
