Question after submitting common application

[fabxx]

<p>So I submitted my application and supplements to various colleges. How do we check the application status? Do we wait for a college to send us an email with our login id and etc? How long does it usually take for a college to send such an email?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>**I have not received my submission confirmation email.

<p>If you have not received the submission confirmation email in 24 hours, it is likely an issue of the email arriving in your spam folder. Please add the following address to your safe list:</p>

<p><a href="mailto:application_help@commonapp.net">application_help@commonapp.net</a></p>

<p>You can also find the status of your application information on the My Colleges page.

<p>Beyond the confirmation email and the My Colleges page, everything else is all up to each college.</p>

Do we wait for a college to send us an email with our login id and etc?

Yep. Could get one tomorrow, could get one in a month.</p>

<p>^^ Assuming the college does that sort of thing… not all of them do.</p>

<p>Thanks. I got my submission confirmation emails from commonapp. But how do I check the application status for each college if they don’t send such emails?</p>

<p>Thanks again! (:</p>

<p>Some colleges explain what will happen next on their websites. We have a “what to expect after you submit” section. You might try to look at the different college sites.</p>
