I submitted my application and payment past the deadline

Applying to College
1

<p>The deadline was Jan. 1st</p>

<p>I submitted the app/payment 12:12 a.m. on Jan. 2 - 12 minutes late</p>

<p>am i in trouble?</p>

2

<p>so you paid after midnight?</p>

<p>did you submit the app before the deadline?</p>

3

<p>Nope.......</p>

4

<p>I submitted the supplement BEFORE midnight
so for that it says 1/01 for the downloaded date</p>

<p>However, I submitted the Common App AFTER midnight
for that it says 1/02 for the downloaded date</p>

<p>I also paid AFTER midnight</p>

<p>OMG am I doomed???</p>

5

<p>i think it differs with each college...maybe contact the college???</p>

<p>check out the common app thread...we're all in the same boat...</p>

<p>i don't think you're DOOMED...</p>

6

<p>Did you get a confirmation stating that your application was submitted/ received?</p>

7

<p>I got a confirmation that my PAYMENT was received on 1/02</p>

<p>None for the applications</p>

8

<p>uhhh what confirmations? are we supposed to get emails? and how soon after we submit the application?</p>

9

<p>Me too..i missed it for William and Mary...i actually hit the button 10 min before deadline, but it ended up taking too long, and then it told me i forgot to put in my sisters college name...i ended up submitting at 12:08....Btw we are screwed...end of story...im glad i have other schools to look at...not to say im not extreamly depressed about the whole situation...i mean...its funny because i actually had everything done like 40 before deadline...and i was just making some last min corrections to my essay..which wasn't even needed...well nothing i can do...whats done is done...</p>

10

<p>Why do I do this to myself????</p>

<p>WHY WHY WHY?????</p>

<p>I had the entire friggin break and I waited until the last minute!!!</p>

<p>OMG!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>

11

<p>is this your first choice university that you missed the deadline by 12 min?</p>

12

<p>It was for 3 different universities
(Cornell, Boston College, Lehigh)</p>

<p>Yes, those are my top 3 choices</p>

13

<p>Are there really admissions officers in some schools so cold to not accept an application minutes late?</p>

14

<p>^^^^^</p>

<p>But that's the point</p>

<p>They don't know that it's a few minutes late</p>

<p>all it says it that I submitted it on Jan. 02</p>

<p>They could take that as any time on Jan. 02</p>

15

<p>If you got the application in, and it was just a few minutes late... yeah, I agree with nubcaek, it would be ridiculous to count it as late. They have to understand that there are all sorts of server troubles and computer troubles and things. True, people should be aware of that and try to make allowances for that, but really...</p>

<p>I think you guys will be fine. You got your apps in a matter of minutes after the deadline. Minutes. Yeah, the date submitted says 1/2, but I'm almost positive that they know exactly when it came in – they'll see that it was just a few minutes late.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you guys.</p>

16

<p>admissions have soo many qualified applicants this year, and will use any method to weed applicants out. This, is a very easy method</p>

17

<p>^^^^ agreed...I am sooo worried</p>
