<p>Guys, for some reason i completely forgot about Cornell's deadline..</p>
<p>Now their Website says deadline is 9 Jan 2014.
Which means it is 9 Jan midnight....right..????</p>
<p>Right now time in India is 0715 hrs. (10Jan)</p>
<p>But time in New York... is (20:43) (9Jan)</p>
<p>So I can still apply....Please help.</p>
<p>Meh, go for it. It’s not like they’re going to automatically reject you.</p>
<p>i hope i dont lose my 85 $ cause i am international applicant with financial constraints…so i should do it…???</p>
<p>thnx Repede</p>
<p>Yes do it, the deadline is 11:59 pm of their timezone so you have a couple if hours left.</p>
<p>you have a little less than 3 hrs left</p>
<p>also guys is the deadline for both the common application and the writing supplement or can i submit the supplement tommorrow…???</p>
<p>thnx Petersuu</p>
<p>yaa, your fine… I haven’t submitted mine yet either… haha</p>
<p>and it’s for commonapp and writing supplement</p>
<p>Deadlines are a big sham. People were submitting things 2-3 days after the deadline and still got in (A week in would be pushing it though).</p>

<p>just check this link
it says something else…we have to submit all together…plzz help</p>
<p>^ I think it’s highly impractical for them to expect all the applicants to synchronize their submission time. It would overload the servers.</p>
<p>so should i go ahead with my plan…really confused…i submit common application right now and the supplement tommorrow…???</p>
<p>and thnx a lot johnny05</p>
<p>Oh that’s what you meant. You don’t have to send them at the same time. Go ahead submit the common app now. To be on the safe size I would submit the supplement within the next 2 hrs 30 mins (and counting), but I doubt anything will happen if you submit it tomorrow (happens, all the time). </p>
<p>If you really have zilch written then take the extra day to submit the supplement. If you have a fully-functioning essay ready that you’re feeling neurotic about, then do some last minute edits and just submit. From my own experience can’t be to hard to conjure up an essay in 150 minutes (you also can use parts/bits from your other essays from other schools you applied to).</p>
<p>doesnt matter what time zone your in, they go by EST. </p>
<p>so wherever you are in the world, you have 2 hours and 28 minutes starting now :)</p>
<p>^ thnx Johnny05… i guess i will submit both together…although the essay is no great shake…</p>
<p>^ No worries, good luck. Don’t sweat it, the essay holds much less weigh than people think it does.</p>
<p>You will need to submit your application by 11:59 EST, that would include your common app and supplement. You can submit supporting documents within few weeks of deadline. Supporting documents are LORs and transcript. Essays are important to top tier schools, so I would try to do the best of you. If you have applied to other schools, you can easily copy and paste a lot of your essays. You have another 2 hours. Good luck.</p>
<p>The fact you totally forgot about Cornell’s deadline it is probably your top choice, so try not to stress out over it.</p>
<p>guys is 332 words okay for a cornell supplement essay…</p>
<p>between 250-650 is ok</p>

I don’t think its fair to downplay the importance of the essay as none of us know the College/School at Cornell that the OP is applying to. Some schools utilize the essay ALOT more than others do and in different ways. In my experience/research, the CHE is one of those schools that really looks at the essay to establish and check for fit in the applicant to their college because it is so unique and different. Essays are important no matter the school/college/instituition. But yes I agree that sometimes people can go overboard with their importance but it is better than downplaying their importance. Just my .02 cents.</p>
