Hi all,
Mostly all schools provide that they can not verify the application status via telephone, e-mail due to a large number of applicants.
Ok.
At the same time they are to send confirmations regarding the application. For ex. HLS sends two - first on the receipt, second when application is complete.

I wonder how long does it normally take for the school to send a reply, specifically HLS? I mean from the moment the DHL or any other carrier reports of the materials delivery.

My application to HLS was delivered on November 16. I still haven't recieved neither first confirmation, nor second.
What about other schools (Columbia, NYU)?
Has anyone recieved something yet? In what terms?

Thanks to all.

CLS sent several e-mails, first saying that they had received my application, but were waiting for the TOEFL scores, then saying that my application was complete.
Have heard nothing from NYU and Harvard so far.

I recieved several letters form CLS as well.
Generally my fears concern HLS and NYU.

NYU sent me an email saying that my application is complete 2 days after I sent my hard copies via courier.

Read this one: Flashback - circa. a year back

Look out for "vakil's entry" - last year he got his HLS app complete sent on Dec 22 and it got to him in Asia (India) in Feb eventually!!!

hmmm....

Thank you,
Obviously, I shouldn't worry.
But I didn't know that HLS sends confirmations via regular mail, I thought they use e-mail.

I got an e-mail today saying the following:
