<p>just submitted my common app on Dec 10 and the deadline for the program needs it by dec 10. However it says under application status and supplment status: downloaded, date dec 11! It also says payment submitted, Dec 10. What does downloaded mean? Am I too late? Any advice would be appreciated!</p>
<p>submitted != downloaded</p>
<p>downloaded means whenever the admissions people get ("download") your app off the site.</p>
<p>On the other hand, i could be completely wrong, but let's hope not.</p>
<p>yea lets hope not anybody kno for sure about this...i just found it weird that it said they downloaded it on Dec 11, even when it was like 10:30 eastern time. anyone else know for sure if this is this case</p>
<p>(btw i like the boolean logic in "submitted != downloaded" haha, u probably program)</p>
<p>ur applying to duke? well they can't blame you if you submitted on the 10th and they downloaded it on the 11th. u had no way of knowing when they're gonna download it. what if they had taken two days or even a week to download it? it still wouldn't be your fault, think of it this way.</p>
<p>You did not mess up. Submitting by the deadline is what counts. Whenever the college decides to download has no impact on you.</p>
<p>You didn't mess up. Submitted is when <em>you</em> sent it in. Downloaded is when the school decided to print it out or whatever. They already had it before, but probably had a lot of people submit that same day and didn't download it until a little later. Don't worry. You're fine.</p>
<p>sweet, just making sure..u never kno with the common app</p>
