I submitted my Umich EA application 5 hours late.

I made my Common App payment for Umich Ann Arbor on October 14, but forgot to submit the application. I realized my mistake 5 hours after the deadline date. I have submitted my application and sent an email to the Umich explaining my mistake and included an online payment form as proof. Will I still be considered for the Early Action round? Do I have to resubmit for the Regular Decision round?or will I be rejected instantly? Please answer, I am very anxious for my application. Thanks

Only the AO who handles your region can confirm the answer.

It’s really up to your admissions officer. How did you submit a payment without applying? In my experiences, the Common App won’t let me pay until my applications are submitted. Worst case scenario, you’ll be rolled into the RD pool.

You’re not late. Midnight tonight (11/16) is the EA deadline due to technical issues. See the post on the Twitter account for admissions.

Closing thread.

Per UMich admissions, “Due to technical issues with application submissions, we will consider all applications submitted by midnight tonight as Early Action
11:15 AM · Nov 16, 2020·.”

Which makes the OP’s question moot and resolved.
