Common App: submitted Jan. 2?

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but I submitted my writing supplement at 9:01 PM EST; this is the time that appears under the Columbia box that has the actual submission areas. However, when I click on "writing supplement" on the dashboard, it says submitted Jan. 2. I'm probably overly concerned about this, but I'm confused as to why the dates don't match up.</p>

<p>I just read that the Common App uses Greenwich Time for some purposes and EST for others. You should be fine even if it says submitted on Jan 2nd. As of me, I couldn’t submit at all because of issues with the Common App website. Got error messages every time I tried to submit and now I cannot log in at all. I have contacted both Columbia and the Common App to see if there’s anything I can do. You should probably do that, too. Send a quick e-mail to the Common App and Columbia Admissions to make sure that you’re okay.</p>

<p>Hey I think its gonna be alright guys. I had the same problem but I was able to submit my application later on. The delay is not a problem I think. It is also on common app’s facebook page.</p>

<p>All common app member colleges with a Jan 1 deadline will accept any app submitted on Jan 2. <a href=“https://twitter.com/commonapp[/url]”>https://twitter.com/commonapp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Columbia extended to the 6th, the date is changed on the common app and I got an email</p>
