I’m doing the online apps and they say that the deadlines are Jan. 3rd. Does this mean they should be submitted before Jan 3rd, or can we submit them on Jan 3rd 11:59 pm?
<p>exactly</p>
<p>you can submit them on jan 3 at 11:59 pm 59 seconds...</p>
<p>but on 12:00:00 am Jan 4 you're late!</p>
<p>I would think that it would be okay if you sent it on January third. There are several problems with waiting that late
1. The server could be so full of procrastinators like you trying to fill out the forms at the last possible moment that it crashes or doesn't allow you to fill out your application.
2. There is often a delay on the internet. One of my friends emailed an essay at 11:59 P.M. that was due at midnight. Ther teacher didn't recieve the email until 12:01 A.M. -Late essay minus 10 points</p>
<p>What I'm really wondering is what happens to late applications.</p>
<p>lol nothing happens
ive been late on ALL my applicatons....u just call them and theyre like okay..doesnt matter</p>
<p>U Chicago has a thing on they're website, talking about the Jan 1st deadline -- you can send it as long as it's still Jan 1st somewhere in the world...;)</p>
<p>one question - how long do the common apps ( online ) take to reach the respective schools ?</p>
<p>Lol! I had a friend who submitted his last application 2 minutes before the deadline. No problems so far.</p>
<p>i submitted a DAY AFTER the deadline
its cool!</p>
<p>I still need to write 7 essays and fill out the applications(5) before wednesday. Why can´t they all have deadlines days after New Year...</p>
<p>Some schools like Holy Cross have a Jan. 15th deadline.</p>
<p>Par72: Do you work for Holy Cross? My goodness, it's the only thing you ever seem to post about!!</p>
<p>how mean Lauren.......</p>
<p>10 essays to write by Friday. Guess I'll be up all of Thurs. nite. Which is good. I guess.</p>
<p>btboxpunk: I'm sorry to be so mean, but look through his/her past posts! I'm usually not so critical but there is a very, very strong pattern there...</p>
<p>lol that IS kinda true...</p>
<p>Heh. Do a search for all posts made by par87 and I'm sure 90% of them will all mention Holy Cross.</p>
<p>lauren.........u hav quite a few strong patterns too!</p>
<p>this is what i would do. say you missed it on on the east coast. take a plane and fly over to california rREALLY REALLY uqick and submit it. or call up a friend somewhere where the time is different and submit. BAM!!!!!Nmlnsdlkndklsngdslkn i'm so bored?</p>
<p>It does get a lot of endorsement doesn't it. Maybe he's a student there and trying to tell everyone how good it is, in a good way!</p>
<p>haha well I guess most of us have SOME sort of patterns in our posts. Mine would prob. be UIUC. =)</p>
