I submitted the common app for GA Tech and Northeastern University and I got an email from Common App but I still havent received any email from either college about application status, etc.
How long has it been? Can you tell through the Common App if they have downloaded your application yet? If they have and it is more than a week, it is okay to drop admissions an email.
Right ^. How long has it been since you submitted CA? Sometimes during peak times it takes colleges a few days to update their portals. Have you checked your spam folder?
^ These are all good suggestions. When my D apply to colleges, some schools did not send confirmations within a couple weeks. At least one that did not send any e-mail and we actually found the way to check for status on their website.
I applied Sunday night. I know its only been a day but I wasnt sure whether it was supposed to a right away thing or a couple days to process thing. Spam folder is empty. I went on GTs website and searched for my application and it wasnt there. @billcsho @TiggyB62 @intparent
Well it’s only been a day and today is Columbus Day, so the college you applied to may be off today. Be patient. And if you don’t get an email in a week or so, then call admissions. Also, @billcsho is correct. At a state flagship that my D applied to last year, no email confirmation was sent so we had to go searching their website for how to check on it.
They probably aren’t downloading over the weekend at all.
Plus it is Fall Break at Georgia Tech so the college is closed until Wednesday. I would stress over it just yet.
