<p>Wow, stayed up till 4 finishing my Harvard app, mailed it in this morning, got home, saw the application fee check sitting in the bottom of my bag. I'm going to call the office tomorrow, but will teh admissions committee ever know this? The postmark date was today, does it matter if the check is postmarked a day late? I realize this could VERY well be paranoia, but, well, I stayed up until four in the morning, I'm tired, and I think my application turned out really well and I don't want something as scatterbrained as forgetting to put the check in the package to negate that or even impact it at all!</p>
<p>dont worry yourself. you've worked too hard to hinder being proud of a probably excellent application. just call the admissions office, tell them the situation and everything will be fine. no worries</p>
<p>thank you!! going to relax and do other things now!</p>
<p>You should be fine -- all your application <em>materials</em> were submitted on time. I would be shocked to hear that there's a issue -- the admissions offices tend to be really good about this stuff.</p>
<p>regarding paranoia and the like...sigh.. After mailing out my application this afternoon, I suddenly felt very drained. Maybe it's the sleep deprivation setting in, but really, more than that, I suspect it's just my body telling me -- reminding me -- that I'm not going to get admitted. I, too, poured my heart and soul into my application and composed some interesting, creative essays...and yet, I know that it will all be for naught...the 7% acceptance rate is daunting</p>
<p>I'm condemned to another two years here...and I'm not in the least bit prepared to confront that...</p>
<p>Sigh.</p>
<p>Yeah, my friend was telling me today that she thought it was good that I was hopeful, and sometimes I am. Sometimes I think the admissions committee is going to see how much Harvard affects me and shapes me and makes me better, even when I just visit (the theme of my essays) </p>
<p>But when I mailed in my app today, I felt totally insignificant and like I didn't even want to think it was good or that I'd poured so much of myself and my time into it. Did you apply to any other schools? I was in Boston this weekend and am now at the last minute applying to Tufts, BC, Wellesley in addition to Georgetown, Barnard, NYU, all my other schools.... </p>
<p>I just want this to be over.</p>
<p>after mailing out my application, i constantly worry that all my carefully filled out and compiled application materials would get lost in the mail system -_- maybe i should've paid for priority mail and ordered delivery confirmation... hm...</p>
<p>I thought that your essay was beautiful, For Shaganov. I know that your passion will be noticed and that the adcom will give your application the consideration it deserves.</p>
<p>I'm not applying to any other schools. Well, maybe -- maybe -- Columbia, but there's still a week left to decide on that one (due in a month).</p>
<p>I'm over my little episode of destructive self-doubt, but I still have no idea how the adcom will react to my application. </p>
<p>And so we wait.</p>
<p>Thanks byul!! You should def. apply to Columbia if you for sure don't want to be at your school next year. My friend goes to Columbia and absolutely loves it, and New York City is beautiful and an adventure and endless. The waiting period might stress you out less because you'd have more options....</p>
