<p>For most of the schools most frequently discussed on this forum, that’s simply not true. The schools allow quite a bit of leeway for technical problems (with online app’s), postal delays (with mailed app’s), and just general, run-of-the-mill screw ups. They don’t screen for untimely submission and automatically send those app’s to the “reject” pile!</p>
<p>Yeah, apparently recs only have to be postmarked for the due date. So that’s good :)</p>
<p>@dodgersmom, wow here I was killing myself trying to get everything in on time.</p>
<p>I’M DOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!! Exeter stuff has been postmarked. All I need now: the Exeter interview and the FA stuff. (SSS by NAIS has been having problems. Choate extended their deadline to the 17th, but it still hasn’t been solved yet.)</p>
<p>what’s up with SSS by NAIS?</p>
<p>Finished one essay pretty quickly. Anyone up to oversee it?</p>
<p>Yep, PM me!</p>
<p>Rizzledrizzle, PM me! I’ll send you my Andover one so you could read over it if you want :)</p>
<p>Would anyone like to critique my Exeter and Andover essays? I’ve already sent both out, so there’s no going back right now, but at least I can make myself feel more confident about them and know what to do next year if I have to reapply.</p>
<p>Send me a PM if you can do this. Thanks!</p>
<p>I finished them just on time. 13th, 14th, and 15th… I bought myself a raw octopus, ramen, and frozen yogurt for myself. Hell yeah, I’m Asian.</p>
<p>Anyone like to exchange read essays with me email yjj7357@**********!</p>
<p>Um, Pm please? CC censored out your email.</p>
<p>What?? It! Gmail dot com</p>
<p>What is PM?</p>

<p>@blehjoints: Choate says error messages, delayed submission, etc., but all I know is that IT’S FRIKIN’ MESSED UP. I’m really panicking about this… they promised to process the PFS within 24 hours normally, but it’s been a week. Even with the extended deadline I can’t get it in on time if they don’t process it.</p>
<p>CherryRose - </p>
<p>Quit panicking! The Choate site is probably not working 'cause it’s temporarily overloaded. Just go to bed and submit it tomorrow.</p>
<p>As for the PFS, it takes as long as it takes . . . and promised processing times do not apply when they’re receiving hundreds of submissions all at once. THE SCHOOLS KNOW THIS.</p>
<p>So, calm down already.</p>
<p>Oh no. 
I literally just submitted Andover’s application at 12:00 because I was doing some last minute cramming, so it showed up as submitted on 1/16 Do you know what I should do? I don’t think the times show up when they look at it and I’m afraid I’ll be penalized and my chances for admission will be slimmed down… Ahhh!</p>
<p>Heh. Just claim you are visiting Hawaii, and you have hours and hours yet ;-).</p>
