<p>I just got an e-mail from the Penn admission office saying that they have received everything EXCEPT the Common Application and the Penn Supplement!!! Now they want me to mail them a hard copy ASAP.
I have submitted the CommonApp+supplement online a few days before the deadline and the fee even appeared on my father’s credit card bill. What’s more likely, that my application got lost in the admission office or that CommonApp failed to send it?
I am so afraid that I will be screwed now…</p>
<p>That sux I've never used commonapp.</p>
<p>can u print ur application? overnight it to them or priority mail (2-3 days). Make sure u get it certified mail (get a certificate of mailing). That's proof that u sent it and on which date u sent it.</p>
<p>Best of luck my friend</p>
<p>or just FAX it asap</p>
<p>hmm...you most likely submitted the commonapp and did everything correctly. after you submit it online, it is no longer in your hands. it is then penn's job to download it..so, i would suggest calling Penn tomorrow and telling them about the email and about what is going on. be sure to check commonapp.org to see if it says "Downloaded Date"</p>
<p>If it weren't reliable, I don't think so many colleges would use it.</p>
