<p>Submitting your app 3 minutes late will not warrant a rejection. Submitting your app 3 hours late will also not warrant a rejection. In most cases, submitting it 3 days late won't impact the decision. Please, can everyone just chill out?</p>
<p>In addition - making a typo does not warrant a rejection either.</p>
<p>Bump. (10 char)</p>
<p>I totally agree. I sent my Common App and supplements in a few minutes late for 5 schools. When I frantically called Penn, they were completely chill about it. From what I've heard, another CCer got an email from Cornell that they will still consider apps that are a few hours past the deadline. So RELAX everyone, you'll be just fine :)</p>
<p>and even if it did, there's nothing you can do about it. Once done is done, stop *****ing and reflect why you submitted late when you had 4 months to work on it</p>
<p>Thank you! That really needed to be said. People freak out too much about these things.</p>
<p>Although to be honest, in their position two years ago, I probably would have e-mailed the college and asked if I would be OK, just for my own peace of mind.</p>
<p>THANK YOU! first off, people shouldnt have waited until the LAST minute to submit, when they've had months...its ok to email, but dont get on CC and post threads going "i was five minutes late, what do i do?!?!?" when everyone is just going to answer "email them" or "dont sweat it"...also, typos and formatting dont matter when the adcoms have thousands of essays to read...they wont keep you out for a typo or two, even with mediocore other stuff</p>
<p>thank you! I've been meaning to start a thread like this!</p>
