<p>I have just submitted my application. The payment page said the transaction would be completed by 3rd Jan. Is this okay? Am I considered late?</p>
<p>No you’re fine, if you look at your common app page, it’ll say paid on Dec. 31. It’s because the credit card company doesn’t actually charge your card until Jan.3 after the holidays.</p>
<p>I see. Thank you!</p>
