<p>We had similar experiences and didn't call since thought postcards received etc. would be enough. (Son put postcards in everything that was sent.) An early admittance to one school became a regular decision even though everything was sent fed-ex at great expense very early. Son should have called and checked. This school had the worse financial aid for son and music merit award was held up. At the last minute they came through with money but he had already accepted elsewhere, his fav anyway. SAT scores were missing at another school which held up an early acceptance. When that happens, money is involved and music school admissions were held up. In the end, it didn't matter. But what if it had been his choice, his favorite school.</p>
