Any confirmation of application?

This isn’t Smith-specific but it can not be said enough: CALL!!! Now, from direct experience, I know that Admissions can be slow in actually logging the material received onto their system, the old “Oh, we received it, we just haven’t logged it on-line” syndrome.

However, particularly for time-critical matters, or questions where one can reasonably anticipate a back-and-forth discussion of two or three iterations, picking up the phone and calling is far superior to e-mailing. Not to pick on CMV, but I don’t understand aspects of this generation, the first to grow up with cell phones and use them incessantly for social interactions, yet are strangely reluctant to use a phone for anything resembling a business purpose.
