<p>So on November 1st, i clicked submit at 11:55... i know very late, my mistake.</p>
<p>i received an application confirmation email at 11:57.. but the email didn't mention that the application is EA. I am hoping that i didn't end up stuck in the RD pool..</p>
<p>I just checked my email… and it also doesn’t say anything about me being EA (and I submitted a week before Nov 1). As long as you a) submitted on time (and it looks like you did, assuming you’re on Eastern Time) and b) your application + Personal Data Form say that you’re EA, then you’re probably in the EA pool. I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
