If it's DOWNloaded on the 2nd, it's still ok right?

<p>If I submitted it on the 1st?</p>

<p>Of course. That’s the school’s business and out of your hands.</p>

<p>Yup. Sometimes it takes even longer. I think supplements sometimes take longer time to be downloaded.</p>

<p>I don’t know of a college in the country that starts reading applications at the stroke of midnight on January 1. It usually takes them a few days to finish compiling all of the application materials. If you are truly worried, call the admissions office first thing in the morning and explain that the Common App stamped you with a Jan. 2 deadline.</p>
