<p>Hi, I submitted all of my apps on my deadline...</p>
<p>well, because I just felt like waiting till deadline to complete it..(If I submitted before, and found an error, I would be freaking out)</p>
<p>some people say that when u do it in the deadline, it shows that ur not interested? </p>
<p>ugh, am I so screwed...?</p>
<p>I don’t think so. I too have submitted most of my apps on the deadline.</p>
<p>Don’t ask me if I got accepted anywhere though. I have faced two rejections until now.</p>
<p>@hopingforbetter yeah I hope it doesnt matter too… sorry for your rejections… I have 1 acceptance (safety) and 1 waitlist for WashU so far… → all of apps were submitted on deadline.</p>
<p>You may well be rejected but it won’t be because of your submission date. Many or your school documents don’t come into your file until weeks and even months later. This is standard. No school that expends hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to recruit applicants is going to use such a petty standard. This is nothing to worry about</p>
<p>A vast majority of kids wait until the deadline to submit, so, no, that won’t hurt you.</p>
<p>colleges actually do not know that you submitted your application on the deadline they just know that you got it in on time. IF you submitted it a week later than I would be worried</p>
<p>That doesn’t match up with what I’ve been told, beautifulchick. A friend and former student of mine, who just changed jobs after 10 years working in admissions at [name redacted] University told me she always noted the date an application was submitted. Didn’t base her decision on that information, but always noted it.</p>
<p>In answer to nirvana’s question: meeting the deadline is meeting the deadline.</p>
<p>I submitted Georgetown EA on the deadline - actually the extended deadline after the hurricane, and got in. However, I think some, very few, colleges might care. I think American sent me an email saying they like to see it sent in early.</p>
<p>For colleges where they use rolling admissions, submitting on a deadline could hurt a bit depending on how they recieve applications and when they start looking at them.</p>
<p>Good point j814: what’s been said here applies only to ED/EA/RD admissions. For rolling admissions, earlier is better, and you should send your application as soon as you think it’s ready.</p>
<p>My S submitted his application @11:45pm on eve of deadline. Thankfully,it did not seem to affect his outcome. Accepted in Feb. to UT Austin.</p>
