Schools are pretty open about the fact that they'll email you if something is missing from your application package. Really, the ad com doesn't sit down on Dec 16 ready to make decisions. After the winter/Christmas break, the dept staff will assemble application packages and will email you if something is missing.
Don't fool yourself into believing that ad coms at most schools will meet before February. Pretty much no matter what, you have until April 15 to accept or decline an offer, so there's little incentive to make a decision before mid-March (after which many better schools will offer fly-outs to the top "admits", which is a very subjective idea).
