Common App

My D submitted her application thru Common App for the UDEL but has not received an email with directions on the portal. She submitted on 8/27/2015. I contacted the Common App folks and said there were no issues. I contacted UDEL and they stated Common App did not roll out the applications yet. Has anyone else had this issue?

My D submitted on August 28th. Received confirmation from Common App but not from U del. Her Mybluehen does not reflect that she applied. It says under application “it’s too early to apply.” Something is not right, it seems. What does it mean that the CA did not “roll out the apps” yet? That the CA has not sent them to UDel? Confused…

@lulu123456 @2018eastorwest I submitted my application in Mid August and have yet to receive confirmation from U of Delaware either. I have the same message on my blue hen home-“its too early to apply”. I’m wondering why CA and Hen Home are not synced up yet? I find this surprising since I have heard of people hearing back from UDel as early as the 2nd week in November, which isn’t too far away. Has anyone called UDel to see what is going on? I wonder if they have begun reviewing our applications yet. It says on my CA that they downloaded my transcript.

My D’s CA shows that nothing has been downloaded by UD yet. Her High school still has not sent her transcript, so maybe they don’t download until all are in? All other CA schools have downloaded her recs, though. She emailed. Has not heard back, yet.

@2018eastorwest Let me know if you hear back from the email. My school has not sent my rec. letters yet, only my transcript which they did download, so they do take things piece by piece; but it is odd that our Hen Home’s are not reflecting that.

I will

My D has not heard back from UD yet, but her CA now shows that her recs were downloaded last week. Weird b/c it did not show that the other day. The CA updates must not be in real time for the downloads. Seems that UD has received the apps but has not updated its MyHen.

@2018eastorwest the “downloaded” thing is what happened to me to, it says my transcript was downloaded on CA but not on Hen Home.
I call admissions yesterday and they said there is a new system up and they are working to fix it. Last year she said Hen Home did not reflect items they had received for quite a while, they are working to fix it so that we can check our application status sooner.

Thanks for the info

I callled Adnissiions and asked why we cant track my daughters application status. Was told they are rolling out a new systen and in a few weeks they will be emailing login and password info. Seems crazy late to be implementing new system!! I am not expecting to hear admission answer any time soon.

@dmarie109 I actually received an email today!! It gave me a login and password PIN. It shows me which items they have received from me and the email also said “check back to see when your application is under review”. It still says expect 8-12 wks after all items are shown as received to get a decision.

They are clearly having some issues as I submitted my application on Aug. 16 and the link they gave me says they processed it at the end of Sept.

My D’s status said they are missing her test scores but they were sent long ago.

It’s still early in the process… common app takes their time. Usually by Columbus Day weekend things are running more smoothly… it’s the same every year with them. A disadvantage of submitting so early is the wait is longer. Many of the people that do the basic work processing apps at schools are students themselves… they will not begin processing the apps till they are ready to do so. Kind of like arriving at a Doctors appt an hour early, being taken 5 minutes late and complaining you waited and hour and 5 minutes. lol… No worries… they will get them processed… I know it’s an exciting and nervous time but they will get them processed. Good Luck to you all!
