Just Submitted My Common App! What now?

I've finally hit submit on my Common App! What comes next? Should I be on the lookout for confirmation emails, or is there anything else I'm supposed to do now? Just don't want to miss any steps.

Congratulations on submitting your Common App—that's a huge accomplishment! Yes, definitely keep an eye on your email, as colleges will send you confirmation emails and might also provide you with login details for their portals where you can track the status of your application. It's important to stay organized during this time. Check your email regularly (including the spam folder, just in case), as colleges may request additional information or notify you about missing materials. Make sure to send any additional required items, such as test scores or supplements, if they weren't included in the initial application. And another tip: If you've used the Common App to apply for financial aid through FAFSA or CSS Profile, ensure that those too are submitted and keep an eye on any correspondence regarding them. Lastly, remember to relax and give yourself a well-deserved break. You've done the hard part, now it's time to wait. Best of luck!
