<p>I mailed my application on Nov. 1, and I have received no email from Princeton. Should I call them tomorrow?</p>
<p>I’m worried that my app either got lost or that they tried to email me but my mail server was down so the message got bounced back… Ugh, that’s maybe what I get for having my mail sent to my own domain.</p>
<p>i wouldnt worry quite yet…wait a week or so…their office is probably flooded with envelopes</p>
<p>I havent received a confirmation yet, and I thought I’d call after the 15th.</p>
<p>well spacepirate, when did you submit ur app?</p>
<p>did you even receive the “we opened a file for you” confirmation?</p>
<p>yep… i got the ‘opened a file for you’ thing… but i didnt get the ‘application complete’ thing… i’ve used the pton online app and submitted it on oct 31…</p>
<p>my recos were mailed in weeks before, btw.</p>
<p>I’d say wait at least till the PIN system’s up. It’s weird that they haven’t logged your paper mail for so long, but probably they didn’t have a file to log it to until the 31st, so they just put it aside until they have your online app in. Therefore it’s natural that you haven’t gotten a response yet. Think about it, Pton needs to open ~2000 envelopes for ED. Even if they open 200 envelopes a day (about 1 envelope every 7 minutes), they would just have about gotten everyone’s open by now – not to mention all the logging and organizing and sorting that goes on.</p>
<p>I’m only calling if I don’t get a confirmation by Thanksgiving…meh.</p>
<p>Oh happy day, I got an email saying that my application arrived. Now I just have to hope that my teacher sent my rec. (I sent the other rec personally).</p>
<p>i have not gotten anything through the mail or through e-mail…and I applied through the mail (tracked by fed ex)…is my application lost? HELP ME!!!..also I am unable to register to look up the status of my app</p>
<p>Call up the admissions office! There is nothing to lose!</p>
<p>I already called up the admissions office and they said to keep checking back…and they weren’t very helpful…also most of you have found out online…is that because I applied through the mail?..</p>
<p>I sent my application via USPS, and I believe my teacher did the same. My teacher rec #2 is still missing, but the teacher said that he can fax or mail them a copy if necessary. I’m going to wait until Monday, and if there’s still a problem Monday morning at 10AM EST, I’ll email them.</p>
