<p>yea, so my internet is very weak and my MIT app was processed about 3 minutes after midnight ET. will this affect my chances? if so, by how much? I am really worried :(</p>
<p>Dude. 3 minutes? They won’t care.</p>
<p>I’m in the same exact boat as you!!! MIT and everything!! I sent and email and this is what I found out :If you find that some of your application pieces are missing, please
don’t panic! While it is important to file your Part 1 and Part 2 in
a timely manner (as close to January 1 as possible), materials
received after that date are accepted and will catch up to your file</p>
<p>Lol. .</p>
<p>hope you were relieved as much as I was 
and good luck on your MIT admissions</p>
<p>lol but see the problem is the part that was 3 minutes late was Part 2…</p>
<p>You’re screwed.
Your best bet is to panic.</p>
<p>MIT had a strict policy about their deadline last year. Thousands of applications were thrown out for being a few seconds late even.</p>
<p>I’d call the admissions office and ask, or just find some schools with a later deadline.</p>
<p>smack yourself for waiting a couple minutes before the deadline to submit</p>
<p>come onnnn…you’ve known about the deadline since what, summer?? this message is for all CCers who submitted past the deadline</p>
<p>you’re lucky if your application isn’t thrown out!!</p>

<p>@pigs<em>at</em>sea: Oh hurr durr, quit being self-righteous.</p>
<p>Though pigs<em>at</em>sea is really quarrelsome on CC, I must agree with him this time. Play safe! Never do something right before the deadline. MIT admission has all the right on earth to kick you out.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I agree with pigs<em>at</em>sea, though I’ve avoided posting it on each of the several hundred of these threads I’ve seen, so as to avoid “kicking someone while he/she is down.” But really, in future, you should submit everything a day in advance at the latest.</p></li>
<li><p>pigs<em>at</em>sea is a girl.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Well… Haven’t read all her posts before writing “him / her”.</p>
<p>my posts are gender neutral. teehee</p>
<p>pigs<em>at</em>sea has been indeed quarrelsome. But we are too. Just a bit less. Maybe even more. So we don’t get the right to call people quarrelsome.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Okay… .</p>
<p>Well now we 2015’ers know what to do next year. :D</p>
<p>1) Open a thread called ‘The-Official-I’m-Gonna-Send-In-My-Essays-Two-Seconds-Before-The-Deadline’ to pwn the previous threads.</p>
<p>2) Procrastinate.</p>
<p>3) Wait until the last two seconds. Click submit and cross your fingers.</p>
<p>4) Refresh the ‘New Posts’ page on CC and count how many ‘I submitted one second past the deadline, noes’ or similar threads there are.</p>
<p>???
Profit!</p>
