Large Gap Between Submitted and Downloaded

<p>My commonapp says the JHU supplement was submitted on 12/30, but it still hasn't been downloaded. Is this normal? Why is there such a large gap, for all the other colleges I applied to, there was at most a 1 day interval between submission and downloading onto their servers.</p>

<p>This IS a holiday weekend. Even adcoms get days off. Relax. I suspect your app will be downloaded when everyone is back at work in the Admissions office next week.</p>

<p>usually the downloading process is automated- but, i'll say it again jhu admissions is a little slow(but i'll bet more thorough though---jk) with things---but however this will probably not help your anxiety---i sent my app in during thanksgiving break/weekend--and they downloaded it the next day----sry i guess somethings are hit and miss</p>

<p>I submitted mine yesterday and it was downloaded today. Don't worry about it now. If it's still not downloaded when the admissions office reopens, call or email. If there was some technical problem with your application, that will not be held against you. They'll still have plenty of time to read it.</p>

<p>Same, submitted 1/1 downloaded 1/2</p>

<p>yep i submitted yesterday, and i was download today.... i would just call, that is kind of weird.</p>

<p>hm. I submitted on 1/1 too (at 12/31's midnight, actually), but it's still not downloaded :( - while allllll my other ones are. Could they be mad at me for being late?</p>

<p>yea out of the 6 colleges i applied to w/ commonapp, 5 of the supplements have been downloaded, and jhu's still isn't. ugh.</p>

<p>wow, some of you have absolutely no patience!</p>

<p>the system is not automatic, people actually have to download the forms. the staff is not work-a-holics...they actually get days off for the holidays too.</p>

<p>and don't fret -- you will be contacted if an error occurred or something is missing.</p>

<p>mine is STILL not downloaded yet :( - and every single one of my other apps and supps are downloaded the next day.</p>

<p>my stuff was downloaded today, and i even sent my essays a day late, so idk...</p>

<p>Mine hasn't been downloaded yet. I think I should be concerned now...?</p>

<p>i wouldn't worry, guys. if you read the thread w/ admissions_daniel, someone asked him that question and he said not to worry about it.... but i guess you can call if you want.</p>

<p>mine hasn't been downloaded yet either....?</p>

<p>Let me repeat what AdmissionsDaniel stated in another thread...</p>

<p>"The status showing as submitted and not downloaded should also not be of concern. As you can imagine we had thousands of application submitted between 12/30 - 1/1 and it takes some time for our system to download all these applications. Our Operations Department is working dilligently to download everything and it will take some time -- this is not an automated system."</p>

<p>It takes time for Operations to process everything -- it takes a lot of time...just be patient and know you will be contacted if there are any problems.</p>

<p>I submitted the JHU online app and it seems like most of you guys did the common app. Did any of you do the JHU online app like me?</p>

<p>thanks laxfan that's a great relief. I had previously thought that it was automated, so there had to have been an error in transit.</p>
