Yes, I believe the deadline is 11:59 pm on the 15th (tomorrow). We are still waiting on the counselor recommendation and a reference letter - which I am not happy about as we had requested these both in September! The teacher rec, I can let slip as I know this particular teacher shares the endearing trait of procrastination with DS and she will get it done; however, the counselor’s rec is part of the counselor’s job and should have been done by now.
@sahmkc I am trusting and knowing that all will work out for you. Good thoughts and energy going your way. 
Just submitted the CSS Profile. Now, unfortunately, I need still need to finalize my non-custodial parent app. Wish me luck.
@Daydreamer2018 I hope everything went well last night! Both my DS’s counselor and teacher did submit on time. Now we have to get through the next month or so!
Yeah it all ended up alright. I submitted roughly two hours ahead of the deadline. That’s good I guess. I just hope I will be able to afford AU. It really is my dream school and I do not know what I will do if it does not work out. I have back ups, but I prefer not to think about them until I know for sure.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you @Daydreamer2018 !
Hey - so I was able to make an account at myau.american.edu … Anybody else been able to do this? I looked on previous threads and other people who were admitted were able to log in before they received the letter in the past.
Anybody else able to do that??
@nv9123 I was wondering the same thing tomchexkmfor my son . How did you get your student id number . Cant seem to find his . Was it mentioned on many other forums ?
Check his email, it’s on the bottom of all emails sent to you from AU.
Yeah I actually made an account a while back before I applied under an old email and then trued to gain access to it and forgot my password. So, following my application submission I created a new account and call their office and requested they merge the accounts. The process is quite simple; you receive the ID from them in an email.
You made an AU Student portal a while back @Daydreamer2018 ??
On myAU.American.edu?
This is different to the Prospective Student portal
Oh wait. Yeah no. I was mistaken.
I got nothing yet. I don’t think anyone will find out until the end of next week and the wait is killing me!
I applied as well and AU is my top choice ! good luck!!!
I feel the same @stressedouttt and believe the same; however, in the portal it says the 31st of Dec. So, I guess we have more time to wait.
Just curious if students who have applied ed have also already submitted applications to other schools ?
Did anyone else receive requests for more information? Financial aid reached out to me for more documents, and my admissions rep reached out to me for my current grades. Is this good or bad?

Yes, DD applied to University of California schools before their Nov 30 deadline. They would be her fallback position if not accepted at AU.
Haven’t received any requests since submitting application on Nov 15.
@2blsd2bstrsd . We have not received any additional requests as of yet . It sounds like they are definitely taking your application seriously and are being highly considered . Try not to read too much into anything . So hard to know how admission decisions are made . Best of luck to you !!
