<p>So one of my teachers who was willing to write me a recommendation hasn't yet. I don't think she will by today either and I've turned in my EA application already. Is this going to count against me? I submitted everything else (application, supplement, & fee) already.</p>

<p>Also, It says:</p>

<pre><code>(Orange box) Supplement: Submitted (Date: 11/01/2009)
</code></pre>

<p>Why does it have an orange box, if I submitted it? Is that normal? </p>

<p>The payment line has a red down arrow but also says it's submitted. I thought it was suppose to turn green?</p>

<p>I am just stressing out :(</p>

<p>your teacher should have until Nov 15 to submit the recommendation.</p>

<p>No idea about the orange box but its on time as far as its deadline goes.
-i would open a ticket for that</p>

<p>same w/the payment, my payment has a green arrow and says "Payments: Submitted (Date: MM/DD/YYYY) "</p>

<p>-click on help and email the common app w/your problems, they respond very quickly</p>

<p>I emailed them earlier with a similar question. Their response:
Thank you for your message. The symbols on the My Colleges page in the Common App may not be correct. Please only use the information beside application/supplement/payments/school forms as this is the correct information. We will be fixing the symbols soon and apologize for any inconvenience.</p>

<p>yea symbols r often incorrect. common app staff says to follow the words</p>

<p>but they do prefer all materials, including recs, to be postmarked by nov 1st.
however, dont worry about it now, just get it in asap</p>

<p>then you are probably fine, i would take their advice and ignore the symbols for the time being</p>

<p>as long as your supplement and common app are submitted now you have until november 15 to work things out</p>

<p>i know it sucks when somthing goes wrong…</p>
