<p>Is it received or postmarked by May 1?</p>
<p>Postmarked by May 2, since May 1 is a Sunday. :-)</p>
<p>Beat me to it. :)</p>
<p>Does MIT give any sort of confirmation of receipt? Perhaps on the myMIT site? I have very little trust in the USPS.</p>
<p>Next year we'll hopefully have the technology in place to confirm via MyMIT... this year you'll need to call or send w/ USPS delivery confirmation, unfortunately.</p>
<p>Hm I got a confirmation postcard from MIT that they have received my reply and that I should expect a packet in May.</p>
<p>D'OH!!!! You are so right. Sorry guys, I didn't realize that we send out confirmation postcards. Oooops. But yes, I just checked and we do indeed send these out within a few weeks of receiving your acceptance of our offer of admission. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>Oh ben :) :)</p>
