just submitted the common app...now what?

<p>I just submitted all of my supplements and the common app for my ED and EA schools, with deadlines being November 1st and November 15th. </p>

<p>all of my recommendations are in except for one of my teachers who is still working on them, but she says that she is completing them as the deadlines approach in order, so they should be submitted relatively soon. </p>

<p>but other than that, I'm done. so what do I do? will I get information from the schools once they have recieved everything? how can I see the status of my app? I'm kind of confused about what happens/you do once you submit, so I would really appreciate if someone would let me know!</p>

<p>It depends on the college. Oftentimes you’ll get an email providing you with the login information to an online portal where you can check your application status. There should be more on this on the colleges’ admission websites.</p>

<p>how long after you submit the app does it usually take to get that email? I got an email from the common app confirming everything has been submitted, but nothing from the schools as of now.</p>

<p>week or 2, sometimes less.</p>

<p>ok thanks! and yeah I just got one email from a school I applied to today and I sent on like Saturday.</p>
