<p>I just added 3 Ivy league colleges to the common app last week, if I apply before the deadline, will they be able to see the date that I added them to the common app? Will this look badly on my application?</p>
<p>I wondered this for a while too, and I believe they can. When I added a college, I sometimes received an email saying thanks for your interest and beginning our application. I don’t think it will hurt you in any way as long as you don’t apply the day before the deadline. Also on the CA under recommenders for each college it lists the day supplements were added so this may also be visible to a college. </p>
