Am I ****ed?

<p>So I have my Princeton Application read to go hours before the deadline. But my internet lagged like **** while I tried to finish my Brown application and the payment processor took way more than two minutes, paid for Princeton way before hand. I ended up submitting the commonapp 2 minutes late. Now my dream to attend my number one choice is severely crippled. Actually it not only screwed me for Princeton, it also messed up my application to a bunch of other ivies, but I'm posting here because I really really want to attend Princeton and work forever on the application.</p>

<p>I heard Princeton auto-rejects late apps, so I would like a confirmation on that and sever my last string of hope.</p>

<p>...If not, tell me how badly this ****s over my application on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being no damage and 10 being pretty much auto-reject.</p>

<p>OMGOMGOMGOMG I just saw today that Brown postponed their deadline to January 4th. FMLFML could have gotten everything in on time.</p>

<p>commonapp usually has a grace period of a few minutes up to a few hours after the deadline because they know stuff like this can happen. it depends on the school. you’re probably fine.</p>

<p>So is post number 1 a carefully disguised way of saying I’m ****ed?</p>

<p>If you’re that worried, call or email them. I’m assuming that this sort of thing is not uncommon.</p>

<p>The Common App is supposed to shut down once the deadline has passed - though schools allow for a grace period. So if yours went through it’s probably okay.</p>

<p>Just call them and find out.</p>

<p>if your app went through, im sure that princeton will consider it. there is no way that pton auto-rejects apps that come through a couple minutes late…</p>
