Common App Prob--Submitted Apps on 1/16

Applying to College
1

<p>Ok, I submitted my applications for NYU and Emory at 11:30...Central Time on 1/15, but when I submitted them, it said that I submitted them on 1/16. </p>

<p>This must've been because of the time zone difference, but now the schools are going to think that I submitted them late. </p>

<p>Should I contact the schools and let them know or something? I don't want them to think I was negligent (though I guess I was) and that I don't care about their schools.</p>

<p>Did anyone else have this problem?</p>

<p>I'm having this problem too. The thing is, I submitted the supplement after the time limit was technically up because I was editing the additional comments and I just...yeah I'm an idiot, I won't go into it. I guess I'm just out of the running, then, right? Probably shouldn't even ask...</p>

<p>I think you're probably fine, though...I mean, email them or call them tomorrow and they'll tell you what to do. </p>

<p>I, on the other hand....am screwed, I think.</p>

<p>DAMN...I HAVE THE VERY SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!!
I THINK IT SAID I WAS LIKE 23 MINUTES LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>But i dont think common app allows us to submit late applications...like after the deadline the college automatically stops accepting it and the common app website will not display that college in your list...
DAmn....I hope the adcoms at WUSTL and Beloit know about this!!!
should I tell the colleges about this??</p>

<p>seole and gobias.......what will you do now...contact the colleges or what??</p>

<p>I dunno....I mean it's really my fault. My problem is a bit different from yours because it wasn't a time difference thing, you know? </p>

<p>I think tomorrow I'll email them and ask whether I'm still in the running. I'll apologize and hope for the best I guess....</p>

<p>I thought it would cut us off if the time was past, too, but I guess not. Ugh, well, we'll see. </p>

<p>I sound way too calm about this. I'm so not.</p>

<p>They really aren't that hard-assed guys. Calm down. You should be fine.</p>

7

<p>You think so? Even if it was my fault, not the time difference?</p>

8

<p>Yeah...I know people who sent in apps late and got into places ED on various forums around here.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reassurance...</p>

10

<p>Thanks, I'm just worried I guess. </p>

<p>If I only submitted them 30 minutes earlier...</p>

<p>Lemme tell you something. They download them. Then some random intern or work-study case files them. Then those files go to the AdComs. Basically, chances are, no one's going to examine your file for the date. And colleges aren't stupid enough to reject applicants because they applied 30 minutes late...it would kill their popularity, and thus their USNWR ranking</p>
