<p>I submitted all my Yale stuff circa 1:00 am, Eastern time because of dumb technical difficulties everyone was having with the essay-upload to my supplement. Needless to say, I had a mini heart attack and now am wondering about the admissions process. My application says it is downloaded by Yale, but my Supplement is not downloaded yet, only Submitted. What is the reason for this discrepancy??</p>
<p>Do u think Yale takes applications by the time-submission? That is, will they read mine near-last bc i submitted mine last (and after the deadline.. heh)</p>
<p>I emailed commonapp just so I could have a documentation of my problems. </p>
<p>First of all, procrastinators unite......tomorrow!</p>
<p>Second, The 12/31 deadline is a POSTMARKED date. Don't let anyone tell you differently. That means that tons of applicants all over the world MAILED their apps in yesterday. Now, they tell you to submit by midnight so that they can get them all in one pile, but I really don't think the 1 hour will be a big deal.</p>
<p>Yeah I was mostly concerned that they weren't downloading my Supplement because they weren't gonna tolerate my late submission. But now my concerns are quelled.... for now...</p>
<p>My Yale University & Supplement now have Yellow Squares next to them! But during the day, they were green triangles.
But previously during the day I got an email saying everythign in my Yale app was submitted.</p>
<p>My obsession with shapes is not unwarranted... don't the yellow squares mean my application is incomplete???</p>
<p>The CommonApp website is just all screwed up... the same thing happened to me with the yellow boxes at another college - I had submitted all my forms and they had been green and then one day they just turned yellow. I think if was green at any time, that means you're all set!</p>
<p>I really, really dont think Yale will even notice, let alone care. As long as the common app website doesnt bar you from submitting stuff a few days late, I think you could pull off a few days late without any real consequences.</p>
<p>To answer your shape question, this has happened to me five times now with my schools and I think I finally figured it out today. When you first submit it, the shape turns green to show it was submitted. Next time you sign in, it goes back to yellow because the school hasn't downloaded it yet. Once it gets downloaded, it turns back to green for good, because all my schools are back to green even though a couple days ago a few of them still had the yellow squares. So basically, because you got that email it was definitely sent, they're probably just not downloaded yet.</p>
