I'm not sure if anyone else is in this boat, but there are a few schools that I applied to where after I received a "you're application is complete" e-mail. This email also doesn't specify the amount of time it takes to review the application nor does it say "please do not contact admissions in regards to your application"

My AADSAS was sent 6/27

For example, NYU sent on 7/20
"We are writing to notify you that your application is complete and your application fee has been received....."

Boston U on 7/13

Louisville, 7/15

Do I continue being patient or should I ask them whats going on? 😕
 
I'm in almost the exact same boat as you, and I'm just as confused as you are. I think if I haven't heard from these schools by September, I'll give them a call. But I am basing that strictly around intuition, and nothing else.

I have to agree with you there... I think most schools should be finished with their preliminary reviews of the first few batches of applications by September, so that's probably a pretty good time to call.
