<p>I'm slightly confused about the application status page for Harvard. They said in their email confirmation of my Common App submission that "we do not acknowledge the receipt of any other forms." In the "Required Documents" section it says "All required documents have been received," but doesn't list out anything individually. I'm hoping this means that both teacher recs, my transcript and school report have been received, does it? I'm just a little suspicious, because obviously mid-year grades haven't been sent (the semester isn't over yet) and I'd be surprised if one of my teacher recs got there so quickly.</p>
<p>We had the same issue. "Required documents" does not mean all documents. It's a good idea to check.</p>
<p>I take this to mean that all required parts of the app (essays, teacher recs, counselor rec, etc.) have been received. However, they can't tell you if you sent in any of their optional forms.</p>
