<p>I submitted the common app about four hours ago, but Stanford hasn't downloaded it yet. It's kind of strange, because Yale downloaded it almost right after submission.</p>
<p>The green arrow next to a school's name means the whole application is complete and submitted, right?</p>
<p>mine was downloaded the next day, I submitted on the 30th</p>
<p>I submitted mine on the 31st and it was downloaded by the next day.</p>
<p>^ Same. (10char)</p>
<p>Mine was downloaded the day after I submitted as well.</p>
<p>I sent mine the week of Christmas and it was downloaded within a couple hours. However, if you submitted it yesterday, then the system may just be slower. Go to axess.stanford.edu and there’s an application confirmation page. Just use the same email as the one you set up your Common App account with. It’ll send an email within 24 hours with information on what parts of the application have been processed.</p>
<p>What does it mean when Stanford downloads your application? Does it mean that it has been accepted and that they will be reviewing it? </p>
<p>I submitted my application a little late, but Common App says that my application has been downloaded. Am I in the clear?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I believe that Stanford has an automated system that downloads new submissions. If you indeed submitted late, then Stanford will likely see the timestamp and possibly reject it. Of course that’s all just an assumption.</p>
<p>You are completely in the clear, no need to worry :)</p>
<p>Yeah, they downloaded my common app, but my teacher recommendations haven’t been downloaded yet. Also, I receive an error message stating “email address not found” on Axess.</p>
<p>I submitted on 1/1/2011.</p>
<p>An actual confirmation email was just sent out today. - I sent in my application the second week of December - Did you get it? - these may be sent in waves -</p>
<p>I got my confirmation today as well, I submitted earlier this month</p>
