<p>My title is my question. I know I procrastinated, and I am sorry about that, but what is done is done. Now the question is, will UVA/BU/UIUC reject for submitting at 12:03, 12:02, 12:01 (accordingly)?</p>
<p>depends TBH, but it will likely hurt.</p>
<p>you couldnt manage to submit 3 minutes earlier?</p>
<p>yeah unfortunately because like I said, I am a procrastinator and was finishing up short essays. Yes I am bad, but please refrain ^ such comments. I am looking for an answer to my question and not what I already know. (Not to be mean, or anything :p)</p>
<p>but i <em>heard</em> that they don't even see what date/time it came in when they look at your essay.</p>
<p>there must be some people who got in who turned things in a bit late.</p>
<p>ummmm....no. you're completely fine.</p>
<p>I think you're just fine :)</p>
<p>i meant your entire application not just your essay*</p>
<p>whew--thanks for the feedback..!
I will post when I find out what will REALLY happen...;)</p>
<p>good luck....</p>
<p>Haha, theripcurl1969, are you being sarcastic? lol</p>
<p>i mailed my application two days late, the adcom told me to not be concerned</p>
<p>to the OP:</p>
<p>I guess it depends on the admissions officer who just happens to pick up your file.</p>
<p>If you get someone more laid back, he/she may be like, "o well, it was one minute late, who cares"</p>
<p>Then again, if you get n extremely uptight person with a stick up his @$$, he may just say "screw this kid, he got it in late"</p>
<p>However, I really think there are very few adcoms who are that strict</p>
<p>Yeah but there will likely be some kind of penalty or negative impression. I mean they have a deadline for a reason. </p>
<p>But I highly doubt they would reject you for being a little late, but I also don't think it will go unnoticed. How many other applicants turned in their applications on time?</p>
<p>why dont you call or email and tell them like...sorry i was a min late and make up an excuse like your father had called and you forgot or your little sister wasnt letting you on but u finally convinced her lol</p>
<p>You should not lie to them and make up an excuse- that is completely dodging responsibility and flat out being dishonest.</p>
<p>lol UVA i submitted my princeton app on 1/3 at 2 AM does this mean that they wont notice this and still accept it? thats AWESOME if they dont see the time</p>
<p>They have so many applications to read over to spend time worrying about the timestamp. It's possible that your computer clock was 1 minute slow, that the server was slow, that you had a power outage, or that your computer caught fire and you had to run 3 miles to your nearest neighbor in your underwear in the middle of a hailstorm to submit the app.</p>
<p>Don't worry. They don't have the time to care about little things like that.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>You worry too much.</p>
<p>What the heck, I posted here but it got deleted.</p>
