<p>I submitted my application to Cornell an hour before it was due and I got rejected. On the flip-side, I submitted to WashU two months before the due date because the application was so simple and I got in. Does it reflect negatively on you if you submit any the last minute? I'm worried because I submitted to Northwestern 30 minutes before the deadline, to Boston College 3 minutes before the deadline, to Tufts 3 hours before DL, and Georgetown 3 days before the due date. Will my applications suffer because of this?</p>
<p>I don’t think the time you submitted the app has anything to do with an admission decision. Colleges don’t care about when you submit it, it is the content of your application they care about.</p>
