Payment - effective date

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>So I submitted a payment on the 1st for a Jan 1 deadline and got an email confirmation saying "the successful payment of the application fee" on 1/1, but when I printed out the Payment Summary after paying on Common App, it said "Effective Payment Date" 1/2. </p>

<p>Does that mean it'll be accepted as late/will the entire app be disregarded?</p>

<p>Don't worry about it, as long as you submitted the payment before the deadline you're ok.</p>

<p>I'm in the same position, but I haven't sent in payment yet. Is it even worth submitting the payment now?</p>
