Ah! I'm late. Ah!

<p>One of my favorite sayings...</p>

<p>"A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"</p>

<p>The deadline is clear. January 15th. Period. If you submit after the clearly stated deadline you should be willing to face the consequences. </p>

<p>Maybe you should've realized the seriousness of the deadline before it passed. </p>

<p>NYU warned you not to wait until the day the application was due, advising you that any number of unexpected things could happen. </p>

<p>This is your future people. Hopefully you'll learn a lesson.</p>

<p>Thanks, Dad.</p>

<p>Actually it's called reality. Face it.</p>

<p>Heat24. I agree w/ you, but there's no need to preach. Let people learn for themselves.</p>

<p>Heat = the ultimate ass hole.</p>

<p>How is my statement not true? Call me an ass for speaking the truth...</p>

<p>amen! preach on heat</p>

<p>good thread.</p>

<p>what if u submit the app on tiem but the fee late?</p>

<p>that's exactly what i did. i submitted my commonapp + supplement and then 'celebrated' for finishing apps... then checked commonapp this morning and realized i didn't pay, so paid then. hopefully it doesn't matter, bc i did this for another school and they said it was fine (she laughed actually).</p>

<p>how do u pay them</p>

<p>well depends (i think). for commonapp, on the payment tab there's a link for nyu's payment. if you click on that it takes you directly to payment page.</p>

<p>just out of curiosity can u tell me what that school was?</p>

<p>it was barnard</p>

<p>i applied to barnard as well
it seems there are more applicants to barnard then i thought there would be</p>

<p>uh oh</p>

<p>As long as you submit the commonapp before NYU downloads the last batch, it's going to be fine. Jesus. They aren't going to say 'OH NO SHE CANT APPLY' because you're 3 hours past the deadline, or something. Remember -they WANT you to apply.</p>

<p>I'm fully aware of the reality of college applications, but thank you for this bit of enlightenment.</p>

<p>i always took the meaning of deadline literally.</p>

<p>colleges tell you all the time that all your materials need to be postmarked by the deadline.</p>

<p>in reality, the admission office is so chaotic around this time that they don't really keep track if its in on time or not.. unless its REALLY LATE.</p>

<p>the first few weeks after the deadline is basically a time of collecting all the needed materials. reviews don't happen until later.</p>

<p>That's not necessarily true, I have to apply past the transfer deadline of April 01 due to some personal problems, I called NYU about this and they said as long as they recieve the material no more than a week after the deadline it will be accepted.</p>

<p>What if my app. was sent on time( on the 15th) ,but my supp. was 12 mins late.</p>
