<p>I got everything done before the deadline, BUT the common app decided to go crazy on me and say, "hey, we cant upload your document" so now im sitting here waiting 20 minutes after the deadline STILL for them to fix it</p>
<p>i could cry
does it make a difference where the university is though? because it's 11:20 there now... D:</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, there are two steps to the common app process. First step is your submission. Once you submit successfully, the college has to download it, which usually happens the next working day. Submit your app as soon as practical and if that happens to be past midnight, be sure to call admissions office when they reopen on Tue and explain your situation. I don’t think it would matter much to them as they won’t be downloading apps until they come in to work.</p>
