<p>Have any of you had this problem? My counselor has submitted by School Report (yay-- it says "Submitted 10/16/12 next to "School Report"). However, just above "School Report" it says "ED Agreement- Counselor Component"--and there is no "submitted" next to it. Scrolling down, there is ED Agreement- Parent Component" and that says "Submitted 9/6".
Also, under the Supplements section, it says I (student) have submitted the ED Agreement on 9/8. So why doesn't it have the counselor ED Agreement? I know that my counselor is in favor of my applying ED; she told me so. If she didn't get an e-mail from Common App about this ED Agreement like my mom got, how can I get this to her?</p>
<p>Call the college, explain the situation and ask for the name of the person your counselor should call to get the form finished.</p>
<p>Lakemom, thanks so much! Great idea. Do you think that if it is done by a phone call and “submitted” is not put next to “ED Agreement- Counselor Component”, that this would prevent the Common App from being able to be submitted by my son? (In other words, at the end when he clicks “submit”, would it pop back with a “Can’t be submitted because ED Agreement- Counselor” is not submitted? I’m wondering this because the Common App would not know that the counselor had picked up the phone and called the college to give her agreement…). What do you think?</p>
<p>No what I think is that if the counselor really did send their part (have you asked directly BTW if the counselor did?) then you need to know whether the college has it but for some reason it is not showing up on your son’s common app screen.</p>
<p>Then someone, the counselor or the school, will need to contact the common app to get that fixed on your son’s screen if that is what is preventing your son from sending in his application.</p>
<p>If your son can still send his application without it saying submitted by the counselor on the screen, then the school may just fax over an agreement for the counselor to sign. </p>
<p>I don’t know how the screens for ED work. My son did not apply anywhere ED.</p>
<p>I would ask your counselor about this first, before calling the college’s admissions office.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, Lakemom and Testobsessed. I do think that it is best for my son to ask the counselor first. We know that she submitted the school form because : #1) she told him that she did; 32) Next to “School Form” it says “Submitted 10/16/12”. However, we are just worried because there is no “submitted such and such a date” next to the words “ED Agreement- Counselor Component”, which is right above “School Form”.</p>
<p>After your son checks with the counselor, then you certainly can call the college and find out if they have it.</p>
<p>The common app is so wacky that for all you know that 10-16-12 date may be intended to cover both the ED agreement and counselor forms. </p>
<p>Is there someone else your son knows who is applying ED who you can ask if theirs shows a date?</p>
<p>We did e-mail the counselor today. She wrote back that she had not done it because she had planned to double check with him that he still wanted to apply ED (some kids change their minds during the process). So she submitted her “ED Agreement” today–and now it says “submitted 10/18/12” next to “ED AGgreement- Counselor Component”!! Yay! Now just waiting on the two teacher letters. My son sent polite reminders on Saturday, explaining that he does need everything in by 10/31, and on Tues they both e-mailed that they’ would get them in. They both like him, so I think they are just inundated w/ letter requests (so the counselor told us–she said she’d help and talk to them if they are not in by 10/29). Deadline for the college is 11/15, but my son wants 2 weeks to have time to make sure everything is in and re-send things if necessary. Will be glad when this is done!!</p>
<p>Glad it was just that the counselor hadn’t done the form. Good luck to your son!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, Lakemom, and good luck to your son (or daughter?) too! It is so nice to have support and help from other parents on this site.</p>
