<p>I sent Tufts a package with my cheque for the application fee and my essays on 12/20 via certified mail (USPS), mainly because I wanted to be sure that they receive it. One has to sign to receive certified mail and I simply assumed that someone would be there to sign for the letter. However, I just checked and on 12/22 it says that there was a notice left, so it wasn’t signed for. Should I be worried?</p>
<p>I did the same thing (for Tufts as well actually…) and it did get signed for eventually! It took a couple days of nail biting worrying, but they got it.
So don’t be too worried!</p>
