<p>I submitted my application via the commonapp and it was downloaded before Christmas. When can I be expecting to receive my GW ID to be able to check my online status? I'm getting worried that something went wrong.</p>
<p>yep same here. dnt worry im sure everythings fine.</p>
<p>don't worry it may even take up to 4 wks or so!</p>
<p>I know people who work in the admissions office and they say it takes a LONG time to process applications. They have to manually scan all documents...it takes weeks upon weeks. Besides, most of GW (staff included) aren't back from winter break yet. If you don't have an ID by February I would definitely give them a call. But you're probably fine.</p>
