Acceptance Etiquette

[Serenity]

This may seem like an odd question, but received an e-mail from one school with an offer. About a week later I decided to accept, but it had no instructions on "how to accept." So I just replied to the e-mail stating that I wished to accept the offer. That was three days ago, & I've had no reply. So today I e-mailed one of the people in the program about the wishing to accept the offer & if there was anything else I had to do. No reply. So how long do I wait? I don't want to seem impatient, but at the same time I'd like some confirmation before I go around declining other offers. Maybe it's best to call in?

I'd double-check that you have the right email, or try emailing someone else in the department. They are probably just swamped with applicant inquiries. But then call, it can't hurt. Congrats, by the way!!
