<p>Hey guys. i submitted at 11:50, and my application is still only "submitted" as opposed to "downloaded."
Was just wondering if this was the norm. I can't check the status of my application until they've downloaded my app, as they don't have my e-mail address.
Also - I'm pretty sure I submitted well before the deadline, but could this be a bad sign?
Thanks.</p>
<p>They don’t usually download things until at least 12-24 hours after you submit.</p>
<p>You are fine. Like soadquake981 said, it normally takes upto two days for the “submitted” to change to “downloaded”.</p>
<p>Both my Application and Supplement have been downloaded, but since I was one of the many who were freaking out that a credit card payment would not be processed for a few days, I proceedingly checked Mail Check after I paid via Credit Card (with no intention of actually mailing a check). Anyway, for the past two days, my Payment has had a green triangle and said “Submitted,” but when I checked it this morning it now says “Not Submitted” but still has a green triangle. Is this happening to anyone else? =/ I’m pretty sure my application is still submitted, but this payment problem is really annoying and unassuring.</p>
<p>I have the same problem as you, mattmorenz. :(</p>
<p>I sent commonapp an email asking, and if they reply with something useful I’ll post it here.</p>
<p>Alright, sounds good Renais. I’ll just wait for that reply as well.</p>
<p>i have the same exact problem as you two, except it’s with yale. let us know what they say please!</p>
<p>The reply didn’t tell me anything new; they just said wait two days (which I did) and if I still have problems, contact them again.</p>
<p>“If, after two days, you do not see the updated information on your application, contact us and provide your transaction number; we’ll check on it for you at that time.”</p>
<p>But! There’s this thread:

And if the mail check thing works for Stanford, it should be fine for Yale.</p>
<p>Downloaded. She applied Dec. 29. It initially said Submitted and she checked Common App today. Not sure if the arrows have changed directions or color. I don’t have access to her My Colleges or I would be checking it myself . :)</p>
