<p>I had everything ready - application, recommendations, transcript reports. So I was all set to send in part two of my application when I remembered my Dad would probably want to look over it quickly before I send it in. But stupid me..I got confused with my SAT II date today(12/2) and thought that the UMD priority deadline date was also 12/2. So I thought it wouldn't be such a big deal if I waited for my Dad to look it over before I sended the application in. So he finally looked over it and sent it in..but by the time everything processed the time was 12:15 am 12/2, which is also when I received a confirmation e-mail.</p>
<p>So are my chances severely lowered just because I sent in the app 15 minutes late? Do I still have a chance at acceptance? I am seriously stressing out - maryland was a top choice for me and I feel like I may have ruined my possibilities just because I was stupid and waited till the last minute.</p>
<p>2160 SAT(1430 m/v)
88 uw gpa with huge upward trend and excellent senior year grades(~95 weighted average)
Decent EC's
excellent recommendations
good essay.</p>
<p>I turned in everything for the application on time except for the recommendations, which my teacher said he sent out already. But when I checked my status, the recommendation did not show up. It's been 4 days past the deadline already. </p>
<p>I'm also in the same situation. The only thing that doesn't show up on my application status is my transcript, gc rec and teacher rec. But all of them were sent out on time and that's all that matters because I do believe that the Dec 1st deadline is a postmark. So as long as it was sent out by that day I believe we should be fine. I am just not sure how long the takes to upload because my teacher sent out my rec a long while back but it still hasnt updated.</p>
<p>a778999 don't worry i'm sure u r totally fine, since it might take them 2-3 weeks to get everything online, esp these days since i'm pretty sure they got lots of applications in rite before the deadline.</p>
<p>sagarmatha i really don't think u r still running for the priority, since u turned everything in on 12/2. i understand it was only 15 minutes late, but still that's the rule... hope u'll get into college park under the regular admission.=)</p>
<p>sagarmatha : the whole deadline thing for the recos and transcripts depend on the postmark of the letter sent to the university. I had sent my application on 30th November and got a reply only yesterday. </p>
<p>So if your letter was postmarked before the deadline date then there is nothing to worry about.</p>
