<p>and I just received an email that says, "Thanks for initiating your Duke application!"
and gives me info as to how to check the status of my app. When I do that, it says nothing has been received, including my common app and supplement, which I know I submitted...
It's early, so of course it would not be updated, right? Is everyone else's like this? Am I freaking out for no reason, or should I be worried???</p>
<p>Assuming the admissions office got off for january 1 new years, then it's only been 1 business day since you applied. And since jan 2 was the deadline there was probably a huge influx of apps. Give them some time to update the system.</p>
