<p>Hey guys, I got an email back from Cornell this morning. I got a very reassuring email that they would still accept applications if they were only a couple hours late.
Good luck everyone :)</p>
<p>of course, "A for Admission" says that ivies dont' really look into RD apps until Feb or something. So it doesn't matter if it's just a couple hours or days late.</p>
<p>how accurate is "A is for Admission" though?</p>
<p>omg Dionysus, you are my savior. I was freaking out. but does this mean it's ok if both parts are late (like both the Common App and the supplement)? because i sent both in 2 minutes late...</p>

<p>This has always confused me.
If they don't look at apps until Feb, why request a transcript/secondary school report from us by Jan 1 when they want the midyear report/transcript by February?</p>
<p>Why can't the just use the midyear papers instead of requesting the stuff we initially sent it?</p>
<p>BU ssaid the same thing!</p>
<p>I think hernandez's statement only applies to paper application, not online, regarding the "few days late" part.</p>
<p>You'll find that most schools will take applications past deadline. It's in everyone's best interest. </p>
<p>For those trying to finish applications right now, many schools have officially extended their deadlines because post offices were closed today. Check some websites and admission blogs and you might see word about this.</p>
