<p>My wait time for the confirmation was about 4 days. I submitted it Thursday morning and received confirmation on monday night.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing Jake229… I’m still waiting for my email; I submitted on the 13th.</p>

<p>Will them extending the deadline help us or hurt us? Now it looks like we didn’t wait until the last minute, but now we have more competition.</p>

<p>@YBN1996</p>

<p>I submitted mine at the same time as you, and I haven’t received my email yet</p>

<p>I just got mine May2013SAT :slight_smile: check your email. But mine says that the common app supplement hasn’t been submitted yet. Weird because i submitted both the supplement and the application itself at the same time. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>I’m the same boat as you. When I checked buzzport, it said my supplement is missing, even though I turned them in at the same time. Have you sent in your transcripts, rec letters, and SAT/ACT scores yet?</p>

<p>strange, I got my confirmation as soon as I submitted the Georgia Tech application. I got both the commonapp and the supplemental confirmation together within minutes.</p>

<p>I’ve sent my school reports and transcript but my SAT scores are due to send as soon as the October 5th scores come out, which is on the 24th. Maybe it’s just a matter of time? Anyone else experiencing this other than May2013SAT and myself?</p>

<p>Never mind, they received my supplement. It has some weird description/acronym on the side. Does anyone know what that means?</p>

<p>So i recently submitted my Georgia Tech application and selected “early action” as my preferred decision plan on the Common App. I’m a little confused right now because on my BuzzPort account, it says my “Entering status” is “regular freshman.” Does this mean I am in the regular admission pool instead of the early action one? Should I email the admissions office to fix this or is it normal? Could this also be due to the discrepancies that they said could occur between BuzzPort and your submitted app during the first few weeks after you submit? Wow these are a lot of questions; i’m just really confused!</p>

<p>I believe that means you are just applying to start as a freshmen in Fall 2014, versus the summer or applying as a transfer student.</p>

<p>My daughter submitted the Common App for Georgia Tech early action on 10/14. GT sent and email on the 15th acknowledging receipt of the common application. In the Common App, under the “Assign Recommenders” section, it shows that her counselor submitted the school report, and it shows as “Downloaded” on 10/15. However, on the GT Buzzport page her application status says both the “CA School Report” and the “CA Transcript” are missing.</p>

<p>I know GT is saying it’s going to take weeks to match up documents with the application, but since the school report was submitted via the common app (and supposedly downloaded by the institution) shouldn’t GT be showing both school report and transcript as received? Or is there some manual process involved in changing that status even if it is downloaded successfully by GT from Common App?</p>

<p>Also, is it true that the “CA School Report” includes the transcript, or is that dependent on the submitting high school. I know daughter’s high school does not use Naviance.</p>

<p>Since this is the first year that GT has used the common app I wouldn’t be surprised if there were extra steps they had to do to show that the CA report was submitted. I don’t think the CA report has the transcript in it. My DS applied to other schools using the common app last year and he always sent in a transcript separately. His school did not use Naviance either.</p>

<p>yes, stoodius and michigangeorgia I have the same occurrence. The rec has been downloaded, and I think the discrepancy between the GTECH portal and the Common App is simply due to them not updating your account. It shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
