<p>Don’t call them this week! If a school accepts materials through the mail, the office could well be opening envelopes and filing for days or weeks. I wouldn’t call it forward to call the office, but at this point, they might not be able to answer the question, and trying to answer the question would slow down everything. </p>
<p>You should receive an email to confirm your daughter’s application is complete. Some schools send emails, some send postcards. (I suppose as things become more automated, emails will become the rule.) At any rate, she will get confirmations from all her schools.</p>
<p>Some schools send log-in information for a dedicated applicant portal. At that point, she can check on the status of her applications online. (Write down any passwords.)</p>
<p>There’s no need to call admissions departments at this point. If she hasn’t received confirmation postcards or emails by the end of the month, you might consider sending an email to the school. If she receives access to the applicant’s portal, I would recommend asking teachers to send duplicate recommendations, if everything else is completed, but the recommendations are missing by the end of the month.</p>
