Hi all, this is my very first post. First, I want to thank you all. Even though I have not posted before, my daughter and I have read through many, many threads and found answers here without asking. Second, I apologize if this topic has been covered. I did search for it, but none of my keyword attempts turned up the answer. So here goes:
My daughter is using the SAO. She submitted her pieces over the last few months. On Saturday 1/14, she submitted her essays. One of her schools is due 1/15 and another 1/16. The 1/15 school updated her portal to show the application is complete. The school due 1/16 updated her portal to show all pieces in, but under essays it says submitted 1/17, after the due date posted on that same page. Should we be alarmed? Knowing that the SAO submission dates are recorded by the SAO and take time to be checked off on a portal, is it worth an email to admissions? Sorry, some of this might be obvious, but we are newbies and of course second guessing ourselves. Again, the CC community has been a lifesaver so thank you!
One school told me they get feeds from SAO every few days, so I think that is normal.
Also, in correspondence, the schools say it may take a few days to show up on their checklist, or even 1-2 weeks for items emailed. I think if it shows as submitted, I would not email, because they are getting SO many emails right now and there is no issue as long as the application is complete.
Hi sunny! Thank you for your response. It confirmed what I suspected, that they get the idea and contacting them would be drawing unfavorable attention. Thanks for sharing your opinion, it made me feel a lot better.
