I submitted the application after the deadline. Will I be penalized?

Hello, I submitted 10 minutes late to Emory university. The deadline was 11:59 January 1, but I submitted 12:10 January 2. Will I be penalized? I successfully submitted my application though.

You should be fine. In the future please please please for your sake do things in advance! There is no excuse for waiting this long. If you aren’t 15 minutes early you are late. Always remember that. People like punctuality.
