<p>(I posted this in the wrong forum before.) I sent my common app, payment... basically everything other than my supplement to a school in mid-december. It's not my first choice, so I didn't remember to start my supplement until today... I sent it in at 9:03 PM (i'm in california), but the school is in the east coast so it's recorded as being submitted at 12:03 AM 1/06... do you think they'll still accept my application?</p>
<p>I had a friend who did the same…they sent an email to the school explaining why they were late. I would just mention how you’re in CA, and the timezone difference. Make sure the school isn’t still on its winter break though… some don’t even recieve the emails that are sent during the break.</p>
<p>That’s okay. If you’re THAT worried, contact their admissions office and explain. They won’t or <em>shouldn’t</em> penalize you for submitting an app 3 minutes after their deadline – they actually want to read your application.</p>
