<p>i had a plethora of computer problems last night even working through the extended jan 2 deadline and couldn't submit before midnight - i sent out apps to a couple of places dated the 3rd and they went through; is it safe to assume that i'm still within the grace period or commonapp wouldn't have let me submit? very anxious</p>
<p>Common app does not cut off applicants who try to submit late, so the fact you were able to submit is not an indicator of what will happen to your app at a particular school. It’s up to the individual schools how to deal with late arriving materials. Most likely, schools where you submitted a few hours late will consider your application with the rest of the RD applicants, but you might want to contact each school to verify.</p>
<p>but isn’t there a point where it will tell you you can no longer submit an application? i seem to remember that happening from ED</p>
