<p>So, I applied to University A with Deadline on Jan. 1.
Today, common app sent an email saying it's downloaded on Jan. 2.
So, will the app still be read or is it past the deadline even though I submitted it on Jan. 1?</p>
<p>Downloaded means that the college actually downloaded your application to their system. As long as you submitted it by the deadline, it's fine.</p>
<p>You submitted by the deadline. Downloaded just means that the university has now received your app to be reviewed. You're fine.</p>
<p>Common App sends an email saying it's submitted, not downloaded....</p>
<p>Common App transfers the data to most schools, we don't download it ourselves anymore. The date you see is the date of the transfer. It may be the same day as your submission day or it may be a day or two after.</p>
<p>Not a big deal, but thought I'd let you all know.</p>
<p>That is great to know. I assume it applies during ED as well? Thanks, Dean J!</p>
<p>Thanks Dean!</p>
