<p>Just got the app confirmation mail from Harvard and created my app portal account. The Teacher Recs & School Report are shown as "not received" even though they appear as "downloaded" on Common App. Is this a normal delay, or perhaps I should email Harvard?</p>
<p>It often takes them a week or two to match the documents to your application. If they show as downloaded in CA, you are probably fine. You could follow up when they reopen after New Years</p>
<p>Thanks. It isn’t necessary to send Harvard hard copies of the recs, right?</p>
