"We have received your application and are processing your file..." is so unholy.

I sent my application in Jan. 27th and it still says they are processing my file. I am really starting to get anxious because I thought I read the deadline to confirm enrollment was May 1st so we are running out of time. I am sure they will accept me or reject me before then it would just be nice to not have to rush getting up there for a tour and the decision. I did get an email from them the day after I sent my application in saying they didnt have my ssn. and they needed me to print out a paper and mail it to them. I am sure that delayed my application a few days. How much longer should I wait before I call to see what the hold up is? I read they will generally review and accept applications from one major at a time. Anyone with a mechanical engineering major just accepted or rejected recently?

thanks
