<p>Any comments? I was able to submit an application 30 minutes before the deadline, but my friend couldn't submit his application within the last 15 minutes..</p>
<p>I think its because tens of thousands of seniors are trying to submit last second. Its clogging up the system.</p>
<p>Well yea, obviously. Do you think the ivy leagues and other great schools will extend their deadline because of this though?</p>
<p>I don’t think they’d hold it against an applicant. Whether they should, well that’s another question. And another answer.</p>
<p>Common app posted on twitter that apps received Jan 2 for the Jan 1 deadlines will be considered timely. <a href=“https://twitter.com/commonapp[/url]”>https://twitter.com/commonapp</a></p>
