<p>I want to apply to UC merced badly but the deadline was on dec 15th! </p>
<p>They have provided an option of accepting applications based on appeals.
**What should i mention the reason for late submission? <a href="They%20want%20us%20to%20furnish%20the%20unforseen%20circumstances%20for%20missing%20the%20dealines">/b</a></p>
<p>“What should i mention the reason for late submission?”</p>
<p>Are you serious? Maybe you should tell them why you didn’t submit it on time and if is because you just never got around to it then I would say to bad. They have a deadline for a reason.</p>
<p>Just tell them the truth…you were not prepared for the graduate school application process. You did not research potential schools months beforehand and only recently came across their school application. Just assuming all this, what really happened only you know.</p>
<p>If you’re too embarassed to admit that you didn’t see the deadline and don’t have any other proof that there was a family emergency or what not, then just don’t apply this year. Wait until the next cycle. Now that you know its deadline is December 15th…</p>
