A few of you have been offered free 'priority' or 'VIP' applications to some schools and they have offered to waive the fee. Great! We know I'm all for saving money. However, there will be a major processing issue if you decide to use that free app, and then still have that college listed in your Common App account.
Why? Naviance is linked with the Common App. If it sees you have a school in your Common App list, even if you have not submitted any part if it, it will send your documents to the college via Common App. And it will never end up being downloaded by the college, because you won't have filed a Common App with them.
How to fix this? Update your Common App. Delete schools that you are not using a Common App for. That way, I won't send your items and have them lost in the abyss of the internet, never reaching their destination.
Thanks!
