Arriving of Formal notification

[gracychina]

Does anyone know how long it will take before you receive a formal notification after being admitted through email? ( ps: international student, admitted to Boston University, waiting over three weeks)

It varies by school. I'm expecting/hoping that it will come soon just that I can make travel arrangements as well as starting to look for a place to live (or roommate). I emailed the grad secretary at my school earlier this week inquiring as to when Math Camp was supposed to start and never heard back.

It also depends upon the postal service. I know that many of our international students in China had to wait up to five or six weeks before the post arrived.
