College says I applied late...?

Hi, I applied to NYU January 1st at 8pm, and I have the acknowledgment email from Common App with a time stamp. I got an email from NYU a couple days later saying they received my application along with information to set up my NYU ID. But when I check my application status, it says that my application date was January 2nd, which was a day past the deadline. I don’t really think it’s something I need to worry about since I received confirmation from both Common App and NYU, but I’m still a little nervous. Does anyone know if there’s anything I need to do about this, or does it not matter? Thank you!

They gave you an ID so it doesn’t matter. January 2nd is probably when they set up your account. They accepted your application so you’re fine. There would be an issue if they had emailed you directly.

@CathJR thank you very much!

The application date shown on your status is the day they downloaded your application. You’re fine!
