<p>Is it weird to not get even an email of acknowledgment from a university you applied to online 4 days ago? I've sent in my common app as well as my supplement, but haven't heard that anythings been received.</p>
<p>Not too weird. I would wait at least a week, if not two weeks. Then contact them and ask politely (without panic/urgency) if they got your application.</p>
<p>alrighty. I just seem to remember these things moving faster</p>
<p>Depends on the college. It took almost 3.5 weeks for my daughter to get a basic acknowledgment back from U of Oregon. Other schools were quicker. I think it depends on the school and what system they have in place. And note that at least last year, many colleges dealt with much increased application numbers (20 - 30% increase in some cases). They are swamped with apps and at the same time many colleges are trying to keep costs down by reducing staff.</p>
