rec letters and transcripts

<ol>
<li><p>Is it rude to gently but firmly remind my teacher/counselor that the U of M admissions office takes a long time to process any material sent so that my counselor/teacher has to send the rec letters and transcripts early? I asked both counselor and teacher 2 weeks ago and there is no sign of them having sent anything to U of M. I'm not happy about it at all</p></li>
<li><p>Does anyone know how long U of M really takes for them to notify u on wolverine access that they got the transcript, letter, etc.?</p></li>
<li><p>What is the average time it takes for U of M to send the 2nd email about the online app?</p></li>
<li><p>I have my UMID, is there any way to go on wolverine access to check my application progress or do I have to wait for a password that U of M sends me?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>thank you</p>
