Do I have to check the status of my application online?

<p>So all the colleges I applied to are sending me emails telling me to log on to some website and make all sorts of passwords so that I can check the status of my application.</p>

<p>Do I have to do this?
I really don't want to, and nor do I have the time.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Yes, you should. If any part of your application did not make it to them, that is how you will find out soon enough to fix it.</p>

<p>It really doesn’t take that much time, and it’s nice to know that you have all parts in. For example, I was able to quickly see that my transcript had been lost and it was received in time to be considered for early action. If I hadn’t - who knows if I ever would have gotten in.</p>
