<p>I realize that the office of undergrad admissions has a ton of paperwork to sort, but my second teacher rec was sent out a week and a half ago, and it still hasn't been received (according to the online application tracker), whereas my first teacher rec that was sent in several weeks ago was received in under a week. (I'm sure this has something to do with the volume of mail the office's getting now that it's getting closer to the ED deadline.)</p>
<p>Should I just sit tight and wait with my breath held, or should I at least call a couple days before the deadline and ask if they've received my second teacher rec and counselor forms?</p>
<p>And it is all right if, by the deadline, I still see "not yet received" on the online application tracking program, right?</p>
<p>It's always OK to call and see if something got received.</p>
<p>When sending things near the deadline, sending them certified, registered, or (probably just as good) delivery confirmation is a very good idea for piece of mind. Delivery confirmation costs about $1.25, and you get a number you can use to track your package on <a href="http://www.usps.com%5B/url%5D">www.usps.com</a> .</p>
<p>The documents have to be postmarked by 11/1, right? They don't actually have to reach the office by 11/1 (especially the teacher recs and counselor forms)?</p>
<p>Also, if I sent Part II of my app in electronically last Friday, then can I safely assume that it will be received and processed at some point?</p>
<p>When I checked my application today, it said that part two and my essay were received, as well as the financial aid application, so I guess that's one less thing to worry about.</p>
<p>And it turns out that my GC hasn't even sent out my stuff. So I might just call about the second teacher rec.</p>
