<p>I haven't received a confirmation letter or email or anything. Should I be worried?</p>
<p>I called NU and all I got was a recording saying wait untill the end of the month to contact about contact materials...however, they also said they would contact you by mid-february if you had missing materials, so does that mean everything of mine is probably in?</p>
<p>Yeah, it probably means everything is in, but you should be kind of worried.....most applicants that I have spoken with got confirmation e-mails immediately upon submission as well as in early February, which was a more detailed/specific e-mail....you got neither of these?</p>
<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>I only received an email saying they received my "application". This email came about 4 days after i submitted the common app/supplement online. Did you get this kind of email? I think/hope that by "application" they mean everything, teacher recs and test scores included. You're right though, they said that they would contact us in mid-feb if anything were missing and they haven't contacted me either. However, I've only gotten that one email regarding my application...i didn't receive a more "specific" email like dpattzlover is talking about in early February.</p>
<p>I actually also received a "confirmation email". You really havn't received anything?! Not even by snail mail?</p>
<p>Wait, sorry guys, I misinformed you! I got an e-mail titled, "Northwestern Application - Receipt Confirmation" which said the following,
"Dear blah blah (:)):</p>
<p>We are pleased that you have decided to apply to Northwestern University. We</p>
<p>have received your application to the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering</p>
<p>and Applied Science to begin study in Fall 2009. You will receive an admission</p>
<p>decision by mid-April.</p>
<p>The mailing and e-mail address you provided in your application will be used</p>
<p>for all correspondence. The e-mail address we have on record for you is:</p>
<p>my e-mail address</p>
<p>It is important that you continue to use this account throughout the</p>
<p>application process as essential information will be sent to you electronically</p>
<p>at this address. If we are missing any items necessary to complete your</p>
<p>application, we will notify you via e-mail in early February.</p>
<p>Should you need to make any changes to your mailing address, or your intended</p>
<p>school and major, all requested changes must be made in writing to the Office</p>
<p>of Undergraduate Admission.</p>
<p>Change requests may be sent by mail or via e-mail to <a href="mailto:ugadmission@northwestern.edu">ugadmission@northwestern.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in Northwestern University. We look forward to</p>
<p>reviewing your application!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Christopher Watson</p>
<p>Dean of Undergraduate Admission"</p>
<p>yes, i received the same email. but haven't received anything besides that.</p>
<p>thanks for all the advice and no I haven't received anything except the common app confirmation that said nu downloaded my app</p>
<p>however I was able to reach an admin rep and she said in regards to nu, "no news is good news" and it turned out everything of mine was in.</p>
<p>And although it is odd that different applicants received different levels of confirmation, if there is still anyone out there who is in my position, don't worry because they most likely have your materials if you have not been contacted about specific missing items</p>
