Hooman Tavassolian Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hey Guys, I submitted my application via Common App on Jan 31st then the very next day I received an Email from that university telling me that my application was not successfully submitted while my common app account shows that the application and writing supplement have been submitted successfully( that green marks). I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this. Thanks in advance, Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubithecreator Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Same happened to me with NYU. just email the common app or call them and let them know what is going on. also contact the school and let them know that there is an issue with the common app, with NYU they contacted the common app directly and received all my information within the hour. i hope that helped. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flinquinnster Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah, Common App is just a bit of a technological fail, considering the volume of college admissions that need to be and should be processed properly. Whilst I didn't have issues with the Common App/Supplement, my teacher couldn't submit a reference. Contact each university, and then they should be able to get in touch with Common App. Otherwise, if all else really fails, download the PDFs from Common App (which you should be able to do with the green marks?) and that could be sent directly to each university. In my experience at least, universities understand that there are major technical issues that aren't the fault of the student. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it does take longer to process and as long as you get it soon, it should be alright. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
