Did anyone else have a close call with their ED App?

<p>I was done with my ED App for Penn at 11:45 PM on 11/1. I clicked on “submit,” and I had to shorten my ECs to fit in their format. By the time that I finished that, it was 11:55. I click on “submit” again, and a message pops up that says “You are trying to access this page in the way it was not intended,” or something like that. I start to freak out. I keep trying it, but the same message keeps popping up. I decide to close Firefox and try to send it in Internet Explorer. I click on submit, and this it what it said (and still says on my application right now):</p>

<p>"Application for Admission - Part 2</p>

<p>Submission Status: Submitted
Submitted Date: 11/1/2005 11:59:00 PM E.S.T."</p>

<p>I really hope that I didn’t screw myself over. I DID receive the letter that talks about 7:00 PM on Wednesday. So hopefully, I AM an ED applicant.</p>

<p>i think the admissions would be rather more admused than anything else. by you being EXACTLY one minute before the deadline is pretty impressive i must say. too bad it was ont 11:59:99 PM lol</p>

<p>^what? there's not 99 seconds in a minute lol! :D</p>

<p>^ Yeah...haha. If I had submitted at 11:59:99, I would have been 39 seconds late. Then I would be in RD.</p>

<p>I submitted mine at like 1:51 AM that day... so not as close as you</p>

<p>no i think i went a few seconds over and they still took it...</p>

<p>23:56................</p>

<p>"what? there's not 99 seconds in a minute lol! "</p>

<p>oh haha...no i meant 11:59:59</p>

<p>lol right!</p>

<p>I think if u submit ur application at like 12:05 they are not going to defer you to regular decision. Their thing is prolly so beaten up from everyone trying to send it at the same time, they wouldnt really penalize you for that, or at least i think. (I know for a fact i sumbitted one of my app at 12:15 because i couldnt get it through in time, i called the admission office and they were still fine with it)</p>
