<p>Like, is it part of the statistics they have gathered on an applicant? If it is, would they view someone who sent his/her application in on the day before the due date as a procrastinator?</p>
<p>In general, no.</p>
<p>However, there are some schools that read applications in the order they are sent (and this isn’t just rolling decision schools; Harvard, for one, does it too). So it can affect you. But the day before the due date is actually not that late compared to when many people send it, and presumably you’re working to make it better up until then anyway.</p>
<p>Oh, okay. 10 char</p>
<p>Colleges spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to attract great applicants. You think they then turn around and apply a disadvantage to someone who turns it in 10 minutes before the deadline as compared to someone who turns it in ten days before the deadline?</p>
<p>There are lots of possible intangibles. This isn’t one of them</p>
<p>I turned in my Duke supplement a day late…(totally forgot the push the submit button) and still got accepted. Don’t worry. It won’t help unless the school does rolling admissions.</p>
