I submitted the common app to Rice 13 seconds late at 12:00:13 because copy and paste wasn’t working on the common app properly. I also submitted at 12:02 for another college due to problems with uploading. Does anyone know if these will be accepted for review?? I’ve even gotten an email from the common app that my apps were submitted successfully. Does that mean I’m fine? Thanks for any help.
You’ll be fine
Just some advice for the future: get things done in advance. No excuse to wait until literally the last minute to do this.
Newsflash: colleges really want you to apply, but adcoms aren’t up at midnight. So, as long as they have your application by the time and pick up the files… you’re fine.
BTW, some teachers in college may not be as forgiving. A paper doesn’t necessarily get credit 1 minute late.
