<p>Hey, I am a student applying to Davidson this year. After I submitted my Common App, but not my Supplement, I got a email from Davidson today about checking my application status. I followed all the instructions and logged on. Everything on the checklist was received except my Common App Supplement, my peer evaluation, and my short response??? I sent in my Supplement and my friend sent in my peer evaluation today (online), but I have no idea what the short response is??? Is it part of the Supplement or peer evaluation and is just marked as received as soon as one of those things is received? I also could not find "short response" on any other checklist on Davidson's website. Does anyone who is applying know what I am talking about? Can anyone who applied ED confirm? I am either paranoid or out of my mind. Haha.</p>
<p>I would suggest calling the admissions office (they might be closed till 1/02?) to clarify. It’s been six years since I applied, so I imagine the application could be different today, but if I had to guess, the “short response” could refer to a short essay question about the honor code.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that it’s holiday time and those status checkers probably have to be manually updated to a degree. If you feel certain you turned everything in, it could just be that the office staff is off for the holidays and they haven’t had a chance to update your status.</p>
<p>I think the short response is the writing supplement. I applied in November for Belk, and I didn’t have to submit any short responses besides the writing supplement.</p>
