<p>Well I finished my application and pressed "SUBMIT" on January 31st--one day before the deadline (Feb. 1st).</p>
<p>I soon received several emails that basically said the following things:</p>
<p>On Jan 31-"You have successfully submitted your online application to University of Michigan!
Please remember that before we are able to review your application, all of the required application materials must be submitted..."</p>
<p>Feb 1-"Dear ____, We have received your application, and we look forward to reviewing it. Thank you!"</p>
<p>THEN,</p>
<p>on Feb 4 "Dear ____:Thank you for applying to the University of Michigan. Your application has been successfully received and is being processed..."</p>
<p>So even though I turned in my app on the 31st, I "actually" turned it in on 4th? </p>
<p>Also, my Wolverine account says "Application Date:02/02/2010"</p>
<p>So my question is, does the application deadline count as the day I submitted my app (Jan 31st) or the day they received my app (Feb. 2, 3, 4?). I hope its by the day I "submitted" it, because "receiving" the app could take any arbitrary amount of time.</p>
<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
