<p>Has anyone had trouble getting into the SPS website to check on your application status? (It says they are having problems with the site.) I haven't been able to get in for the past 2 days.</p>
<p>You have 15 days of lenience for teachers recs and everything, if the school's supposed deadline is january 15. Andover has a hard deadline of the 31st (or the 1st of Feb, I forgot which).</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about receipt of recs and applications, if they've just been mailed. I plan to follow up with schools, though, if I don't get a postcard or email stating, "everything's in." Some posters in past years have claimed that schools lost, or misplaced, their applications. I have no way of knowing if they were just claiming that to save face, of course.</p>
