Concerning the name on the mailbox issue, he says he does, indeed, have his name listed, as do his two roommates.
Interestingly, we tried to call the post office that handles mail for his zip code. It rings and rings, and then…stops ringing, but no one answers, just a soundless void. We double checked the phone number. This has been for two days running.
About the law school thing, it is not acceptance or rejection as much as what if they want an interview (do law schools interview?) or a clarification of something on his application, or didn’t get something they were supposed to, or whatever, and write him to try to get the information? It is begining to sound more and more like it was an individual carrier problem, somehow related to the small size of the envelopes, and that the mystery will never be solved. At least I am getting some reassurance that he is probably receiving most of his mail.
