The status section of any graduate site typically tells you whether your file is complete and/or missing any components, and also will announce whether or not you have been accepted or denied admission to the program.

I hope that helps!

If you cannot check online then, yes, I would expect that you will have to wait to hear from those schools via e-mail and/or mail. (Sometimes the e-mail to tell you "yes" because it is quicker than doing so by mail, which they also do, and because this facilitates you getting back to them or making a decision more quickly...)

The status will continue to keep you updated as to whether all your forms have arrived, when your materials are in consideration, and possibly whether or not you have been accepted. Be forewarned though - sometimes these never update... some schools just don't seem to have time, work force, whatever to keep up with them.

It might not be that they don't update (the system in my college is populated by our database) but that the people in the admissions office can't keep up with the mail flow--particularly when a deadline just passed.

I just had one school last year, that never updated. Even 6 months later. (I assumed I was rejected much earlier of course but I kept checking to see if they'd ever update the info and they didn't...not that I want to imply that it's a rejection if they don't - I know others who got in with no updates). I just want to let people know not to panic if it doesn't change... it may be slow, or it may never come (or on the optimistic side it may be just fine).

It varies by school. Most schools in my field notify by email or by phone, but some still send letters through the post.
