<p>I've submitted all my stuff few days ago, but I am not sure if my school counselor has also submitted his recommendation.</p>
<p>My common application looks like this (I highlighted the important part in green):

<p>It is obvious that the two other recommenders did everything right, because the college already downloaded the essays, but I'm not sure about the counselor, because it just says "started." Is this normal, or should I contact to him?</p>
<p>Does it look like this on your pages as well? :D</p>
<p>Nope. The status is exactly that-- your counselor has received the link from the Common App and has started the school report, but she has not completed or submitted the form yet. If it was requested a few days ago, she’s probably still working on it (or it is on her list of recommendations to complete).</p>
<p>I have the same problem and I am kind of afraid colleges will look down upon that. My counselor told me not to be very hopeful. :(</p>
<p>I have contacted my counselor just now via mail. Let’s see… 
In fact, my selected uni’s have received everything but the “highschool transcript” awwgh!</p>
<p>Long story short: shouldn’t be a problem at all.</p>
