<p>My nerves are so bad right now! Like an idiot, I waited until the last minute to submit my Common App. The site was running really slow and now it says 01/02/2010 next to my application submission. My app was literally a second late! What should I do? Do you think the colleges will just toss my application? :(</p>
<p>You and I both :(</p>
<p>you and you and I. 3</p>
<p>Is it safe to say: Procrastinators and Overachievers Unite ?</p>
<p>Yeah me too. My application and supplement have different dates, even though I sent them within 30 seconds of each other. Lol. Thank god the common app site didn’t really lag.</p>
<p>Ditto. But here’s where I’m confused. Stanford’s site says the deadline is 11:59 pm PACIFIC TIME (I’m on EST, 3 hours later)- so is/was my deadline 11:59 EST or 3am EST?? My “submitted date” is also, unfortunately, 01/02/2010, but is the Common App just recording that by EST, and to Stanford it will still be on time?</p>
<p>Ughhhhhh. Any thoughts would be appreciated.</p>
<p>^Yeah me too, for Stanford, it turned 12:00 while my application part was being processed. I’m not gonna worry about it too much, it’s not like you can do anything. But I think we’re fine, because it does say that it’s pacific time.</p>
<p>WHY do people choose to submit last minute?</p>
<p>Due to certain a situation, I needed to include “the 2000 char extra info” part. I had mine at characters without spaces 1612 but still only 1989 with spaces. I tried to upload the document and it took forever and then did not work, I tried and tried again until 11:58 where I just copy pasted it, a “over the character limit” popup appeared, yet the line below the box itself said “Characters available 11” I had open another, new document, copy paste it in, check the count (not change…) and tried one more time, and finally it worked. But looking at the submission stamp, it already read 01/02/10</p>
<p>Look at #3 on the first post in [this</a> thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/628910-urgent-common-app-problem-check-here-first.html]this”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/628910-urgent-common-app-problem-check-here-first.html), and stop worrying.</p>
<p>omgosh thats a freakin relif</p>
<p>Stanford’s application was due at 2:59 AM EST.</p>
<p>//WHY do people choose to submit last minute?//</p>
