Does applying late hurt me?

Hi all,

I’m taking 3 SAT Subject tests on the October 1st date, and I won’t receive the scores until the 26 or 27. I’m applying ED to UPenn, and i was wondering if I should wait until I get the scores so I can put them into common app and on my resume, or if there is some other option?? Will applying 4-5 days before the app is due hurt me?

No, it will not.

As long as it is in by the deadline you are fine. From what I can tell, applying late can only hurt in schools with rolling admissions.

Do submit a day or two before the deadline, though, so that you have time to address tech issues should they arise. Submitting during the final moments before the deadline is too stressful!

As long as it is submitted before the deadline, it is fine.
