How does your status page change at all, if any so far, from the time when you submitted? After you submit the secondary does it indicate "secondary submitted" on the status page? I submitted mine, received confirmation via email that they got it, but my status page hasn't changed at all.

Just curious, cuz something funny happened to my connection to the internet while I was transmitting so I'm not 100 percent sure everything is normal. Anyway, thanks in advance for any feedback.

I sent my secondary in on July 28th. It says that the secondary has been submitted on my page. However, I'm almost sure that my letters have been received (sent on the 27th) but it says, "Awaiting Receipt" on the status page. When I called to ask, the lady says that it usually takes 5 days to update the status page and that I shouldn't worry. Although I never checked the status page in the few days after I got the email, I would imagine that they might take a while to update whether the secondary has been submitted or not as well.

does your school have a committee? If so, then no, you don't have to list them. And if not, then I can't tell you one way or the other because my school has a committee so I don't really pay attention to the other options. Sorry.

I just submitted the secondary today. I do not remember having to put down the names of my recommenders. There is no committee at my school.

My status page took awhile to update, but it is now complete. I sent it in on July 28.

Hi all,

I submitted my secondary a few hours before my deadline last Thursday. I received an email confirming secondary receipt and payment a few seconds later. However, I checked the webpage and it says that though the payment was received on Thursday, the secondary wasn't received until Friday (ie, after the deadline). Did this happen to anyone else? Should I be worried?

I sent an email about this since my deadline was on a Saturday and the status page showed the following Monday's date. The reply I recieved:

It takes one business day for the supplemental to register as being received. If it appears as being received one business day later than the due date, that is fine.

Mine is normal. It's been complete with everything received since the 29th I believe. With letters received the 11th, my secondary later, etc etc. Perhaps they are just slow to update because so many people are getting it now? I think I got one of the earlier batches of the secondary, but other than having everything there, it hasn't changed in the past month. Good luck!

Sorry for going a bit off topic, but does the Feinberg app have essays? They only give a week for the deadline right? I'm still awaiting whether or not they'll extend my deadline.

 

[sockandmittens]

yes three essays tho none of them are terribly long
