<p>Common</a> Application's Leaders Get an Earful - Head Count - The Chronicle of Higher Education</p>
<p>It's not just students, parents, and high school counselors that are ticked, it's the universities as well. It's not working. Read the comments below the article for even more insight. The colleges can't even get to your application information!</p>
<p>My neighbor’s son’s school uses Naviance. His recs are finished and uploaded into Naviance. His transcripts are ready too, and he’s “requested” them in Naviance. The FERPA form has been signed in the Common App, and his Common App has been linked with his Naviance account. Unfortunately, his guidance counselor just advised him that the link which allows the high school to upload everything from Naviance into the Common App is not yet enabled. It’s supposedly happening at the “end of this month”. We will see.</p>
<p>Many are common problems that happened even in the past.</p>
<p>Johny–same problem my own son is having. It’s all set up to go, but Naviance can’t upload. After reading the article, I have my doubts that Naviance will be ready to go by October 1st. We were told end of August originally. Our school started sending out paper copies of everything as they also don’t trust that Naviance will be ready.</p>
<p>One of my D’s teacher could not upload the recommendation while another one has no problem. Sometimes, we could not even log into CommonApp. You just need to be patience. They cannot hold you accountable for CommonApp error unless that only happens to you.</p>
