Common App still accepted it though, says that I successfully submitted my app to X college. Am I safe ?
I submitted my app to NYU about 5-10 minutes late on the Jan 1 deadline, but I got an email from them (not just the Common App site) acknowledging my application about a week later, and I got a postcard from them in the mail today saying that they received my app. #:-S I would think they give a short grace period just in case of technical problems. Mine would’ve been submitted just in time if the website hadn’t glitched!
@alternative33, thank you! Mine kind of glitched too. I thought it was my computer, so I restarted it and then panicked for a while before actually submitting it. I’ve read somewhere that as long as the Common App accepts it, then you’re fine, but never saw anything to confirm this is true.
haha, procrastination never ends. just don’t be the guy who started his thesis 72 hours before the deadline
@chowling, agreed, although I already applied to a good amount of colleges, so this was just me being anxious and trying to apply to one more because I’m afraid that I’ll get rejected from all of them.
I would love to see that guy’s thesis though . 
^Would like to see that thesis too. Also, I turned in my first choice college app 20 minutes (on the dot) late too. In this together!
@slights32, little update, I got my confirmation email yesterday! Funny thing though, I haven’t received a confirmation yet from some colleges that I actually applied on time to.
