Submitted my writing supplement five days after the deadline

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

I JUST DID THE DUMBEST THING EVER i don’t even know how this happened…
I wrote out the entirety of Princeton’s writing supplement, absolutely positive that i sent it well before the deadline. However, logged back into common app today (five days after jan 1 deadline) and discovered that the submitted button was left unchecked. I just now send it but holy *** i am so furious at myself and I think i probably blew my chances…
Does anyone know if they will still consider my application?
(please–do not berate me, i’m well aware that I was unbelievably stupid and careless and horrible etc)

I hate myself.

Yikes! It’s ok, I empathize with you. If people on CC don’t get back to you by tomorrow morning, I advise you to call the school and ask yourself. I hope things work out!!!

I did the same with Williams, I turned in the main app and didn’t notice there was a separate button for the writing supplement submission. I turned in my app on time but didn’t turn in the writing supp until two hours after the deadline.

I called on Monday and I was told not to worry because as long as the main app was in on time it wasn’t a big deal.

I’d give them a call, apologize and explain your situation and I think you will be fine.

Most of the stuff you read on CC about turning in your writing supplement in late it works out for the person as most colleges tend not to be like dictators about it. Except Stanford.

Yeah, I just did the exact same crap today LOL. Good thing I found out a day later. I submitted the application (with personal statement) on time, but I just didn’t submit the writing supplement on time. sigh, that’s probably goingn to ruin my chancesssss
