Secondary Status Update Emails

[sillyether]

Hello everyone,

Was just wondering...what is the general consensus on this:

For schools that have secondaries where it's just a form you fill out and not a sign-in site (where there's no way to check your status)...is it a bad idea (i.e. reflect badly on your application) if you send an email to admissions committees asking for a status update if you haven't received anything for 4+ weeks since you've submitted your secondary?

Thanks!!

I think it's fine. Maybe don't call it a status update but specifically ask about whether your secondary is complete. You don't want to come off sounding like you are bugging them about getting an II already.
