How long before you get acknowledgment from college after submitting common app?

A couple days ago my daughter finished and paid for 2 app thru common app. They both say downloaded but she hasn’t received any sort of acknowledgement or portal to college? They both are larger colleges- is this normal or should she email them? Thanks

It takes a couple days. If you haven’t gotten an email by now, I’d contact the school to see if her application was received.

Do all schools provide a portal after applying to them?
