Found out how you can tell if program read your PS - cadet133 - ArchivalUser - 09-23-2015
Ok so I found out a way to check to see if a program read your personal statement. First off, go to the track documents and look at when the PS was made available. Take note of that date. Now go to your personal statements documents and check when that PS was last updated. If the tracking shows that the PS was made available later than the update it means the program has read your PS. I confirmed the place where I got my IV and acknowledgements shows a later date then when my PS was updated

Shouldnt everyone's personal statement say "Available step 15th 2015" or the date that they applied on?

Cadet it shouldn't matter, the "update" will always show a date before because you edit and then it is automatically made available again afterwards
On another note EVERY single one of my programs is saying my personal statement was available 9/22 even though i applied 9/15. I hope eras didn't screw me over cos i never updated anything

My last updated PS is 09-14-15 at 11.45 pm
PS is available to programs on 09-15-15 at 03.45
I don't agree with your assumption at all! There's no way one can find this.

My PS says updated 9/15 and made available 9/16.
And I don't think the programs can edit ur ps man.they can only see it.
