Should I phone the college? UCAS not in yet.

Will I look like a mad, pushy parent if I call my DS's college (Tech) where he's doing an Art Foundation to ask why they haven't submitted his UCAS, yet, as they apparently submit them all together the day before UCAS closes (is that Jan 15th?).

Several unis told us it was a good idea to submit before Xmas as they had more time to consider each application. Obviously that ship has sailed, but should I call?

DS is 18 but to my surprise, the college did send me his 'progress report', so they can't be too hot on confidentiality! The other issue is DS gets quite annoyed when I 'nag' him about it. He's not that confident so probably wouldn't 'dare' rock that boat himself. And will be cross with me if I do call college.

But I want him to have every advantage going. FTR he's aiming him, to the top rated uni for his course (Graphic Design).

WWYD?
