<p>I was going to submit my app at 11:00pm but my internet stopped working and I couldn’t submit it till 2:00AM on Jan 2nd. Will BC still look at my application or is it too late?</p>
<p>sooo sad considering this was one of my top choices :(</p>

<p>Why on earth would anyone leave their college choice to some random failure that one has no control over is beyond me. The one aspect in your life you had control over, procrastination, you didn’t control.</p>
<p>If you are looking for sympathy I am sure there are a lot you will get, but the college you want to get into is not going to be one to give it.</p>
<p>In most cases, a college will accept a “late” app and not penalize the student. Heck, they might not even notice. Even tho the deadline was Dec 31 at midnight, colleges do not immediately upload the Common App. Instead, they have an agreement with CA to send them at a specified time, which might not be until tomorrow. (All apps are electronically batch processed by secured servers, which need to be sync-ed up.)</p>
<p>There is nothing you can do but hope for the best and ace your senior finals. Good luck.</p>
