Zigglar's Tusk

From what I gathered somewhere else on the forums, there had been some shake ups with the staff in the department so they either didn't have the organization or time to send out rejections....or maybe I'm just being an apologist. And thanks, I'very trying to figure out how to get the Coney Island into a tattooable image.

Not sure about MD, but judging by the results board, I'd say the initial 15 offers have already been made by Penn State. From I've heard from them they always admit 15 new students, so you can't rule them out until the very last minute, for better or for worse.

I would at least give it a week before you send a second reminder, if you haven't already. I had a professor not respond to my email for at least a week, but he still submitted all of my letters on the same day. So there's a possibility your professor is waiting until s/he has finished writing it to respond back or any other possible reason. As for sending documents by mail, as from what I know with the schools I applied to, as long as the mailed documents are postmarked before the deadline, it doesn't matter when they arrive. It usually takes a few weeks to a month for schools to compile their file on everyone so that shouldn't affect anything.
