<p>I have suggested emailing if one is really worried</p>
<p>but the dynamic is interesting, don’t you think? adults all wigged out about sending an email or calling for fear someone with a marked will pull kids file and put a big X on it or something</p>
<p>this is what the process as evolved to…</p>
<p>I have told people to give it time, and that if something is missing the school will notify you as many pieces of an application are out of the kids hand, like transcripts but if a reasonable amount of time has passed and your application profile things is seems to be missing something, it is okay to email, and just say am I missing everything</p>
<p>schools give the deadlines so that 90% of thepaperwork is in their hands - but they allow a buffer time for late things from teachers, etc, to catch up, then they sort and file and input into the data base etc</p>
<p>so this thread is two-fold</p>
<p>to say it is okay to check witht he school, but do allow for a bit of time for the school to do its job</p>
