<p>Please help me guys.. I submitted my Common App, Stanford Supplement, and School Forms before the deadline. But when I was trying to pay with my credit card, it kept saying that the payment didn't go through. I tried paying multiple times (at least 5), but it still didn't work. I ended up using a e-check but it was around 8 minutes late.. What should I do?! Should I email the admissions office to explain or..?</p>
<p>Same. Everything else was on time, but payment’s time stamp is 1/2/2012 12:01:29 AM. I think it should be fine; while the Common App operates EST, I’ve read that Stanford operates on Pacific Time, so the deadline would be three hours later than the Eastern Time deadline anyway.</p>
<p>For Stanford, payment isn’t required before submission. So, as long as you got the APP, SFs and Supp, in on time, you should be fine.
If you continue to have payment problems, contact CAO support.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it, it should be okay. My app for REA showed up a day late (really it was 12:05, so five minutes late) because I couldn’t copy and paste my essay from my mac for some reason. I got accepted anyway.</p>
