<p>I submitted my whole application on November 30th, and my teachers have already submitted their recommendations on common app. However, when I check the status of my application on harvard, they said they have downloaded my application but not my recommendations yet. Does it just take longer for them to to get the recommendations?</p>
<p>I have the same question. I sent in my application a while back, and the day after I submitted it, its status on the Common App website changed from “Submitted” to “Downloaded.” However, it still says just “Submitted” for my teacher recommendations. Anyone else still having this problem?</p>
<p>Be patient. The Harvard admissions office is currently receiving thousands of applications, so they have to take the time to organize and separate out everything. If they find that one component of the required documents is missing, rest assured that they will immediately notify you.</p>
