<p>I saw the “Priority Deadline” is Dec. 15th. I was counting on Jan. 1st. What excctly does a “Priority Deadline” mean? Am I going to be at some kind of disadvantage?</p>
<p>No, there is no disadvantage for submitting materials by the 1st. Don't worry about it.</p>
<p>Priority deadline is for housekeeping convenience. No advantage.</p>
<p>harvard is off the common app..online..y is that?..i thought the deadline is Jan 1st..</p>
<p>i dont get it.. what does "housekeeping" even mean in Harvard admission? -_-</p>
<p>have you guys talked to harvard admission staffs? (man. i am late!)</p>
<p>He just means that it's easier for them to get the apps organized if they come in earlier.</p>
