Need help/advice on college deadlines

<p>Hello people!</p>

<p>So I am panicking right now. Last week I finished all of my applications for early action schools, clicked "submit" in the CA webesite and thought I was done for now. However, I just got an email from CA saying that I hadn't sent in my apps...
Apparently, the "submit" bottom only took me to paying the school's fees, it did not send my applications. Today I received an email from CA saying I had completed apps but none submited, which is when I realized my big mistake.</p>

<p>Has anyone been in the same situtation and have some advice to give? I'll try to email each university I was applying EA, although I'm not sure if I have still any chance at being considered for EA.</p>

<p>Thanks to anyone who replies!</p>

<p>Also, would the fact that I payed the fees before the deadline help me in this case as proof that I intended to submit the applications for EA?</p>

<p>Wow, I have never heard this before. If you have proof that you paid the fees before the deadline, I think that is the essential key. I would proactively contact each college’s rep with an email explaining the situation and including the proof of payment. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! I contacted the schools (3), two of which allowed me to send the application as EA. I am still waiting for the other one to reply, which hopefully will extend my deadline (although they are very strict about deadlines, so I doubt it). at least now I have some schools I can be accepted to before the end of the year!</p>
