Northwestern never confirmed receipt of my stuff...

<p>I'm not applying ED, but I got my teacher recs and transcripts done pretty early and sent in. I put in a little postcard they could send back to me when they got my stuff...all my other schools have sent that back by now except for Northwestern. Still nothing.</p>

<p>Should I be worried? It's been a couple months...</p>

<p>Shoot them out an email. Its the best way to verify, and you will have an electronic trail to refer back to.</p>

<p>Alright...I didn't want to seem too overbearing with an e-mail.</p>

<p>You could also call them. Calling=prompt response, and prompt response=time to fix any errors that might have occurred!</p>

<p>I don't think it would be overbearing. You want to make sure that your materials are in so that you can have a completed application. Better to talk to them now with enough time to fix it if there is a problem...</p>

<p>Just a quick fyi, northwestern isn't very good in terms of response. last year when we used the nu app, there was a page to track the letters of rec (ie if they had them) NU took an extremely long time to update the page to say they had my letters. Also, you might want to double check iwth your teachers who wrote the recs-did a teacher possibly forget to write that school? One of my friends had a teacher forget to write her rec letters, needless to say she was angry</p>

<p>No, I know the letters are done because other schools have been confirming they got it, Northwestern's just the only one that hasn't confirmed anything. Either letter or the high school transcript.</p>

<p>Going to give them a call tomorrow...hopefully all is well and they can check for me.</p>

<p>I'm just a little scared because Northwestern is the only school that didn't get back to me about ANYTHING...transcript, rec letters, anything...hopefully it's too unlikely that nothing got there, considering the addresses were right and everything.</p>

<p>When did you get everything in? I haven't gotten any update on whether they received my app or not, and sent it in about 3 weeks ago. Some schools are very quick about that sort of thing, others take forever.</p>

<p>Um...actual application + supplement has not been submitted yet, but the transcript + letters were sent a couple months back.</p>

<p>They probably won't give you any confirmation until you send in the app.</p>

<p>So, I still haven't heard back, BUT...I scrolled down to the bottom of the main "Applying" page--there is a space to put in your email and Northwestern ID. I tried that and it showed me what had been turned in, etc.</p>

<p>what is the activity chart???</p>

<p>Well, I thought that the activity chart was the little chart you filled out with... your activities on the Common App. I don't know if there was a different sort of thing for the actual Northwestern app, though?</p>

<p>^how strange, I submitted my common app to them quite a while ago and they still havent marked that "Y" yet...worried =T</p>
