<p>Is it normal for the CommonApp to take a while to update the recommenders' status? My teacher says that she's positive she's submitted her reference but her status shows 'not started'. Do I need to ask her to re-submit it? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t have any personal experience, as my school is a Naviance school, but this thread might be useful to you. </p>

<p>talanchi, I don’t know if the method in the link ipopova provided worked for you, but it didn’t work for me. My teacher says he submitted his reference literally weeks ago and it still shows ‘not started.’ Is it because I haven’t submitted the Common App yet? Or is there an actual problem?</p>
<p>did u choose a school for the recommender in the school forms?</p>
<p>Yes, I did that right after I invited the recommenders (over a month ago) because I knew where I was applying. I tried going through the main ‘school forms’ link AND through the ‘my colleges’ and then ‘school forms’ link. No matter which way I try it, both teachers and my counselor show as ‘not started’ for every school I have on the Common App, though I know that one of the teachers submitted.</p>
<p>Id say open up a common app ticket at <a href=“http://s3.parature.com/ics/support/TSFolder.asp?task=ticket[/url]”>http://s3.parature.com/ics/support/TSFolder.asp?task=ticket</a></p>
