<p>I submitted to 8 schools via common app, but to email. Is this normal with the common app?</p>
<p>yes. the common app is pretty sucky. </p>
<p>applyonline - the app used by schools such as Columbia, Brown and Stanford, are much better. They give you confirmations after you submit each separate part of your app. </p>
<p>so you gotta just keep track of what you sent in and what you didnt. </p>
<p>too bad.</p>
<p>if you do it through the school, they'll usually get back to you pretty fast. I agreethat the common app is pretty slow. The three schools I applied to through them are the only ones I haven't gotten an email from.</p>
<p>Although. </p>
<p>I did start an app for Boston on the CA that I didn't finish, and they emailed me about that. nice of them.</p>
