Missed deadline by 2 minutes! What happens now?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I missed Boston University's deadline by just two minutes. I was facing some difficulties in uploading my optional writing sample via the CommonApp and it took me a long time to solve this issue. This eventually led me to miss the deadline for only 2 minutes. Although commonapp sent me an automated email saying that the application and writing supplement were successfully submitted, I'm not quite sure as to whether the university will accept my application. </p>

<p>What do you guys think will happen now? Is my application going to be rejected? Should I send them an email explaining the difficulty I faced in uploading the writing sample? I'm getting really anxious here.</p>

<p>Boston University reads your application and sees if you’re a good fit for the school.</p>

<p>There are no magical gnomres that automatically reject late applications. You’re absolutely fine.</p>

<p>If you’re paranoid just find your rep. Online and send them an email detailing what happened. I’m sure they won’t care</p>

<p>Boston College extended their deadline to Jan. 3 so I think they would be flexible with you. I would contact the rep assigned to your area to let them know of your problem with the CA. Here is the link with the extension noted.
