<p>my counseler does not use the common app forms provided...apparently my school has its "own forms" that they send to all the colleges. unfortunately, these forms are submitted by snail mail. once yale gets them, i will know it through my eli account, but will it show up on the common app account? right now it says schools forms: all not submitted, even though she sent the stuff in a packet a couple weeks ago. this is making me nervous...is this just because the forms are not exactly the common application, and therefore is won't show up on the common app website, but rather just on the eli account? thanks!</p>
<p>why doesn't your counselor use the school forms (or common app forms for those schools who do common app)? my guess is they think what your counselor sent in is supplementary material and are waiting for their common app rec forms to come in the mail</p>
<p>My school does the same thing, and my counselor has assured me that there hasn't been a problem with it in the past. Other than that, I have no idea.</p>
