<p>Does any one know if Amherst downloads the common application only after the supplement is submitted too?
My D. submitted the common app on Nov 5, but the supplement only yesterday.
She has not received an acknowledgement for the main app yet, even after a month . [Most other colleges that allow sequential submission, update their portal as each item comes in]
She has a fee waiver 'cos of DIVOH…and we don’t know if that too causes delay.
Is it time to write to them or should we wait ?</p>
<p>Have your daughter call the admissions office. Sometimes they make mistakes and they are happy to get a call checking on the status of an application. Call ASAP, so if there is a problem, it can be resolved!</p>
<p>Thank you amherst2016. The college app webiste now shows that they have downloaded all her material, so it looks like it is truggered by the supplement.
She will call Amherst if she doesn’t get teh acknowledgement from teh school in a couple of days. Thanks again for responding.</p>
