Ahhhh I hate myself! Unexpected family issues in the recent days caused me to wait until January 1st to submit my application. With incredible bad luck, the common application website underwent some technical difficulties while I was submitting my Syracuse application resulting in it finally being sent out just before the midnight deadline, yet it shows I submitted it January 2nd. My common app confirmation email is at exactly 12:00. All of my supplement materials like transcripts and letters of recommendation were sent almost a month ago.
I have emailed the admissions office and was going to try calling but they are out until the 3rd for winter break. Anyone have advice or words of reassurance? I’ve looked through numerous threads that all say different things but I’m wondering if anyone knows anything about Syracuse specifically and this issue.
And please no “you shouldn’t have waited until the last minute” like I don’t already know that 
Hey!! Don’t worry haha I actually did that too. It happens to all of us, I’m not gonna blame you lol. My theory is that if it went through then it will be considered, especially because you paid the application fee and all. I don’t think it will make a big difference as I’m sure they get many MANY students who do the same thing and submit after midnight. Everything is recorded in ET anyway so they might never know. I strongly doubt they’ll shred all the apps submitted “late” but they might look at them at a later time who knows. Common app is pretty darn forgiving with its grace period, so hopefully it won’t make a difference at all for either of us!!!
@rimrim123 Thanks for your reply! I emailed back and forth with the admissions office and long story short they are considering it! The first guy I emailed said that all late applications would be looked at only if there was space after all other reviews which scared me, but after explaining my exact times and everything they said it would be fine. Now my only stress is whether or not I’ll get in lmao.
@mcollege123 Yay that’s awesome!! Good idea contacting them. I hope you get in!
